Blanket Octopus

things you should know about the blanket octopus:

The females are 40,000 times heavier and 100 times larger than the males & grow up to 6.6 feet long. The males only grow to 0.9 inches.

To mate, the males will fill their tentacles with sperm and tear it apart from their bodies, giving it to a female who uses it to fertilize the eggs. Then the male floats away and dies.

To defend against predators, the female tears off tentacles of passing Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish as they are immune to the sting. When they encounter predators they wave the poisonous tentacles about using their two upper arms. This provides a painful deterrent while greatly increasing their size.
