Just not which specie out of the 4 it is.
Common name is "Blanket Octopus".

@DarKnightofCydonia Yeah, I noticed that too! I found a site that says if the wafting blanket membrane doesn't scare off a predator, they can shed part of it to distract whatever is after them. They can probably move faster with it gone, too.

It reminds us of the Guardians from the Green Lantern comics.

Did it just tear itself apart?
