The species has not been studied in-depth; not much is known besides its habitat and anatomical description. It is only known from a single female specimen.

The type specimen, upon which the description is based, has small suckers, small eyes, and arms that do not vary much in length. The fins, which it uses for locomotion, are also very small. O. extensa may be the same species as Opisthoteuthis pluto.
