Reproduction (all info from Ziegler 2021)

Cirrate octopods produce eggs which are different from Incirrates. For example, dumbo octopuses (sci name) lay their eggs one at a time. Their eggs also feature a tough outer capsule. According to Ziegler, there are not enough egg specimens to draw conclusions about cirrate octopod development. Currently, microscopical data gathered from egg specimens are only enough to support inferences. It is believed that the eggs of species found in the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones are substantially different from eggs of species found in the epipelagic and bathypelagic zones (check this info in the article).
