The smoothskin octopus, scientifically known as Muusoctopus leioderma, is characterized by its smooth, untextured orange skin, lacking the raised papillae found in some other octopus species. It also features a distinctive, raised skin fold around the mantle's edge, called a keel, which may aid in burrowing. This species is relatively small, reaching up to 60 cm in total length and 3 kg in weight.
