The ornate octopus (Octopus ornatus) is a tropical species of octopus native to the Indo-Pacific region. Other common names include white-striped octopus and night octopus, in reference to its nocturnal habits. It was previously known as Polypus ornatus. O. ornatus is edible and was recorded in a Hawaiian market in 1914 by S. S. Berry.[1]
