Not vents, but likely very close to some seeps. Its probably a type of Benthoctopus like you said. Platform 2016B is out in the North Sea, off the coast of Norway.

Thx for the ref. But even if Vulcanoctopus is a subset of Benthoctopus, I'd still guess this particular octopus is more likely a different, "non-Vulcanoctopus" Benthoctopus. Supposedly Vulcanoctopus is a vent endemic... is Platform 2016B near a vent? That’s really interesting! Thx for the ref.

See Strugnell et al. 2009 Zootaxa 2096: 442–459. or email for the paper if you are interested. Actually the 2 genera are *almost* synonymized.

I would have gone for an off-the-cuff ID of Benthoctopus, but I am not really a deep-sea octopod expert. Extreme niftiness!
