A hexapus is an octopus possessing only six tentacles instead of eight, but it is merely a freak, developmental oddity, not a separate species. The first documented specimen was Henry, a hexapus found off North Wales and donated by Anglesey Zoo to the Sea Life Centre in Blackpool, UK, in 2008. A male specimen of the lesser octopus Eledone cirrhosa, when examined Henry was found not to have lost two tentacles owing to injury as had initially been assumed, because there was no space where they would have originally been if this were the case. It seems instead that Henry's highly unusual condition was the result of a developmental malfunction.Two other hexapuses have been photographed but not examined by scientists. One, a specimen of the common octopus Octopus vulgaris, was caught in Greece by holidaying snorkel divers in July 2013, but was killed and eaten before it could be formally verified. Another one was reputedly photographed in the waters of Portinho Arrábida, Portugal, by American tourists in 2014, but again this has not been verified by experts.
