RE: The female blanket octopuses (Tremoctopus violaceus) is between 10,000 and 40,000 times the size of the males, making it the most sexually size-dimorphic multicellular animal we know of
Yeh that's just a "slight" difference wow :O And probably a good thing that you explained octopus mating habits and how size doesn't matter as even though I know how octopi mate the first thing I thought of still managed to be "what the heck do they just swim in?" XD

They definitely have a weird method of mating. Most other octopus species have the ability to regenerate their hectocotylus arm after the mating though, so at least they don't all have to die :P
