Red-spot Night Octopus (Callistoctopus dierythraeus)? I wonder why it's called that...
Normally it has a orange colour with white spots like other night octopuses. But it switches to white with red spots when disturbed.

Some like it hot!
Vulcanoctopus hydrothermalis, as you might guess from its name, lives around hydrothermal vents. The water there gets hot, but these octopuses can survive in water as hot as 91°C.
They are also quite small, with a mantle length of less than 6 cm!
Vampire squids (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) don't really live up to their name. They aren't squids, and they don't hunt, let alone suck blood.
But they are vampire-like in their longevity! They are thought to be able to live up to 10 years, longer than almost any other cephalopod
