''Callistoctopus'' is a genus of nocturnal, orange octopuses in the family Octopodidae.Marshall, B.; Bouchet, P. (2014). Callistoctopus Iw. Taki, 1964. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=534103 on 2015-02-02 They are readily identifiable by their reddish coloring, the white papillae that line their bodies, and their long arms. Though sympatric with diurnal ''Octopus'' species, they avoid competition by hunting at night. In acknowledgement of this preference, many species of ''Callistoctopus'' are referred to as night octopuses. Well-known species include '' C. macropus'' (Atlantic white-spotted octopus) and the type species '' C. ornatus'' (ornate octopus), both of which are harvested for human consumption as seafood.
