In the North Atlantic H. atlanticus is an important prey of sperm whales, swordfish and blue sharks33,34. Deep-Sea Res. Correspondence to Sci Rep 7, 44952 (2017).

This would enable the cephalopod to consume zooplankton from the gastrovascular system of the jellyfish via these channels while adhering to the exumbrella. http://tolweb.org/Haliphron_atlanticus/20200/2016.08.29in The Tree of Life Web Project. Young, R. E. 2016.
Because of pressure exerted by the ice, these lakes are not frozen. While general trophic relations between oceanic pelagic organisms can be reconstructed using various dietary tracers2, knowledge of prey choice and feeding behavior remains virtually unknown for many pelagic fauna. ), "The functional morphology of the tentacle musculature of, "Adhesive mechanisms in cephalopods: a review", "A study of the Comparative Morphology of Cephalopod Armature", "The structure and adhesive mechanism of octopus suckers", "Learn about octopuses & relatives: locomotion", "An octopus with only seven arms: anatomical details". 279, 4559–4567 (2012).

The observation of Haliphron feeding upon Phacellophora and other gelatinous organisms indicate that H. atlanticus may be a trophic link between gelatinous zooplankton and top predators. Blanket octopus.
300, 253–272 (2004).

Knowledge of the diet of the species is restricted to examination of stomachs of two trawl-captured specimens. A study has determined that the octopus has two legs and six arms, often commonly referred to as "tentacles". The large onychoteuthid Onykia robusta had one Velella specimen in its jaws26.

(2019), Journal of Fish Biology Santos, M. B., Clarke, M. R. & Pierce, G. J. Assessing the importance of cephalopods in the diets of marine mammals and other top predators. One of these giant cephalopods is Haliphron atlanticus (Alloposidae), a pelagic species that may reach up to 4 meters in total length and up to 75 kg13 and is consumed by sperm whales, blue sharks, and pelagic fishes14,15. Fish Game, 49, 209–211 (1963).
This is similar to how fish21 and sea turtles22 feed on medusae, by initially targeting their more energy-dense oral arms and gonads. This octopus-like entity would prove to be elusive, deceptive, and deadly. Both tips were fully functional. Adv.
If Haliphron indeed has a large jellyfish component in its ingested prey, it coincides with the observations that some of the largest oceanic predators (ocean sunfish, leatherback turtles), can attain very large sizes on a gelatinous diet.
There are other reports of cephalopods with gelatinous fauna in their stomachs23. ADS Internet Explorer). It shares traits of its nearest known relative, \"vitreledonella richardi\", the glass octopus. We report in-situ observations of Haliphron atlanticus encountered during deep-sea dives with a remotely operated vehicle, as well as stomach content analysis of museum specimens.
In Haliphron the medusa was held by the external bell with the oral part open within the folds of the arms, and the octopus’s beak sometimes protruding into the subumbrellar ... 35–40 (1986). The contents included ‘non-cuticular red-coloured prey, most likely cnidarian (a coronate medusa like Atolla sp. This species exhibits one of the strongest examples of sexual size dimorphism among cephalopods, with the small males dwarfed by the females. 60, 825–829.
They are liquid, containing fresh water that has been isolated for at least 15 million years.The largest of these is Lake Vostok, covered by a glacier two miles thick. & Gorodezky, L. A. Mar. For hectocotylized arms see hectocotylus variability. Scientific Reports New Zeal.
[8][better source needed], Cephalopod limbs bear numerous suckers along their ventral surface as in octopus, squid and cuttlefish arms, or in clusters at the ends of the tentacles, as in squid and cuttlefish. The entrance to the hole was plugged. Hydrobiologia 530/531, 549–56 (2004).

During a scuba dive for which they required low-temperature wetsuits, the creature was encountered on day one of the expedition.Organism 46b is a species of giant octopus, but with 14 arms rather than eight. The international press was told nothing was found. Hydrobiologia 530/531, 529–535 (2004).
Sequential muscle contraction of the infundibulum and acetabulum causes attachment and detachment. J. Young, R.E., M. Vecchione & K.M. Some examples are shown below. This record corresponds with the amphipod gut-contents previously reported13, which may be indicative of ingestion as “by-catch” when the gelatinous host of the amphipods is consumed.
H.J.T.H.
Cephalopod limbs and the suckers they bear are shaped in many distinctive ways, and vary considerably between species.
The fifth specimen included the remains of a salp chain along with the only crustacean found in the stomach contents (Fig S1d). The Mimic physically changes its form to resemble one of fifteen other aquatic species, such as a lion fish, or a sea snake, or a jellyfish.
