They were "discovered" in 1998. But they are entirely fictional.

The "Pacific tree octopus" (pseudo-classification Octopus paxarboria) was a 1998 internet hoax that was intended as a parody of actual ecological awareness groups. Occasionally individuals will mistake the site as one promoting the preservation of an actual animal. A small following has provided fake photos, testimonials, and other material.
