Flapjack Octopus Enamel Pin (Opisthoteuthis depressa)

Flapjack Octopus Enamel Pin (Opisthoteuthis depressa)

If you’ve ever thought, “I want my jacket to feature a deep-sea creature that looks like it was designed by a children’s cartoonist and a Lovecraftian nightmare,” then Opisthoteuthis depressa is ready to oblige. Nicknamed the flapjack octopus, this gelatinous cephalopod lives hundreds of meters down, where it spends its days drifting, flapping its ear-like fins, and being aggressively adorable while still technically a predator. Unlike its more muscular, reef-dwelling cousins, the flapjack trades speed for squish—because in the deep sea, nobody’s timing your laps. This hard enamel pin captures its charming pancake silhouette in polished metal and vivid enamel—no submersible or pressure-proof pancake griddle required.

Specs:

  • Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
  • Secure clasp so your octopus doesn’t “float off”
  • Size: 39.5 x 29mm
  • Zero chance of inking your shirt

Perfect for marine biology nerds, deep-sea enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys the rare combo of scientific accuracy and unsettling charm.

WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
