Eledone microsicya is a little-known species of octopus from the western Indian Ocean.^[2] There is a view that because of the similarity in the skins of the single specimen of E. microsicya to the Musky Octopus Eledone moschata^[3] that this is not a valid taxon and represents a Red Sea population of the otherwise Mediteraranean E. moschata.^[4]
