Query: Why does the Hectocotylus break off during copulation? What purpose does it serve?

If anyone knows, please respond on this page.


Sincerely, Gunter Goebel

I believe it is to try and stop other boys getting a piece of the action, but don't quote me on that. The bellman 01:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] position of the Hectocotylus

This page seems to suggest that all octopuses have thier hectocotylus as their 3rd right arm. Is that right, is it always the same arm for any one type of cephalopod? The bellman 01:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
