Maybe this is a new species: the Frilled Giant Pacific Octopus, which is very similar to the unfrilled and familiar Giant Pacific Octopus.
Note the little bumps called papillae around the eyes — it’s an octopus with eyelashes.
I expect you all to party a little harder on Sunday night for the Frilled Giant Pacific Octopus.

I misread the name as “Fried Giant Pacific Octopus.” Doesn’t sound appetizing.
