Yes cephalopods can be cute.
I would vote for Opisthoteuthis Adorablisis. I need to make a trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium next time I visit my dad. Make sure you watch the video unless you already know what an oviducal gland is.

What do you call a tiny octopus with big eyes, gelatinous skin and is cute as a button? Nobody knows quite yet! Stephanie Bush of MBARI aims to classify and name this presently undescribed deep-sea cephalopod using preserved specimens and a clutch of eggs housed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
#CephalopodWeek starts Friday! Stay tuned for 8 whole days of cephalopods!!! Watch this video from Science Friday about Stephanie Bush’s research:
