Check out @myuuu1350 for pics and clips of this beautiful little Lampadioteuthis!
A member of the enoploteuthid families, these uncommonly encountered #squid have an array of big colourful photophores across their body.

今日は誕生日だったので、スズランイカは海からの誕生日プレゼントだったのかもしれない
ありがとう海
@okayuoniokori @squid_rui This #squid is a Pyroteuthis, from the family Pyroteuthidae.
This is a beautiful specimen. You can easily see the seven photophores on the tentacle stalk which separate it from the related genus Pterygioteuthis.
Great photos, thanks for sharing them.

ダイオウイカ(多分)の幼体。
触り心地はクラゲみたいだし、触腕が4メートルくらいある。

Specimens of Enoploteuthis sp. (top) and Watasenia (bottom) in perfect condition to start the week with.
These small squids are covered in photophores, inhabit mesopelagic waters, and migrate vertically with day-night cycle.

Incredible shot of a juvenile Ctenopteryx (comb-finned squid) from off Japan.
Interesting how similar this pose seems similar to those often adopted by juvenile Thysanoteuthis (diamondback squid).

An apparently very rare deep-water Squid, Chtenopteryx sicula, making an appearance in Osezaki, Japan. #ikelite

Awesome footage of a brick-red Mastigopsis in the SE Pacific.
Begins in tuning-fork posture, long tentacles dangling down. Commonly seen in Mastigoteuthis, but the long, large fins distinguish Mastigopsis from Mastigoteuthis.

Specimen from the rare #squid genus Lepidoteuthis for #MolluscMonday.
Lepido- = "scaly" in Greek.
Dermal cushions ≠ true scales, but they sure look it!
@Te_Papa NMNZ M.118158, ML 460 mm, female, collected in 1984 off eastern New Zealand.

Very cool observation by @SchmidtOcean of a likely Octopoteuthis nielseni🦑at 700 m depth off Costa Rica. Footage of Octopoteuthis near the bottom the bottom like this isn't common so very cool to see.

squid around 700m depth from the currently live @SchmidtOcean dive off the Gemelas 1 Seamount near the Cocos National Park of Costa Rica
Big red🦑edition, part I:
Species: Idioteuthis cordiformis
What's happening: ROV footage of a large, calm squid swimming back and forth above the bottom @ 970 m depth off the eastern coast of Australia.

Finishing this week of #Squidtember off on a weird note:
Species: Discoteuthis sp.?
What’s happening: …not sure. Possibly the #squid is in this bizarre posture to disguise the fact it's a soft, tasty, protein-packed snack.

@jeffday @SchmidtOcean @oceanexplorer Wow! Very cool.
I love how the squid at one point just goes vertical, like "I'm not here." And the ROV crew obliges but turning down the lights, haha.

Big🦑, small🦑, weird🦑and wonderful🦑...
Every weekday this #SQUIDTEMBER I'm posting my favourite #squid videos from around the interweb. Each sprinkled with a little science too about what's happening and why it's neat. Starts tomorrow, stay tuned!
#deepsea #squidID

@jeffday @oceanexplorer @SarahMackAttack @ALCESonline @cefafalopodo I'd love to see a margin of the fin to get an idea of length. As is, geography makes a gonatid a very likely ID, I can't say more from this clip.
Interesting that it seems to be keeping it's momentum and position by jetting alone, without any fin involvement.
#squidID #deepsea
@jeffday @cefafalopodo @TUExplorer1 @SchmidtOcean Thanks for sharing Jeff, great encounter.
This is a Liocranchia reinhardti. It has too many ocular photophores (>4) to be L. valdiviae.
#squidID #deepsea
A stranded Eucleoteuthis luminosa for #MolluscMonday. The long white lines and spots on the ventral mantle (visible here) are composed of light-producing tissue and separate the species from all other ommastrephids.

生きてるスジイカ身投げ!
初めて見る生状況は、波に翻弄されて泳力を有効に使えず干出域に取り残されてしまう…という感じ。座礁である。

Start #MolluscMonday with this beautiful Asperoteuthis acanthodera🦑from the Maldives.
The largest chiroteuthid species, if you pause the video at 3s at the bottom you can see the tentacle club with distal suckers & large terminal photophore.

You've Got To Be Squidding Me
Normal day out squid fishing and this happened 🦑🦑🦑

@squid_rui @ikas9uidcalamar Clockwise from top left corner:
1. Idiosepius sp.
2. Histioteuthis sp. @ALCESonline
3. Hyaloteuthis pelagica @cefafalopodo
4. Chiroteuthis sp.
@jeffday #squidID
Some serious #MolluscMonday content from @ALCESonline. Squids, octopuses, even a bobtail, all freshly thawed, IDed, and ready to be accessioned into NZ's collections. Very cool stuff, check it out.
#MolluskMonday #squidID #deepsea
This was probably our favorite for today--a beautiful, perfect little Batoteuthis skolops. Not many of these in collections. We squeed, a lot. #SQXmas2023

Beautiful Lampadioteuthis megaleia.
A small lycoteuthid (member of the enoploteuthid families clade) with large, brilliantly iridescent #photophores. Known from the subtropical Atlantic and southwest Pacific.

この間拾っためちゃくちゃ綺麗なイカ、教えてもらってスズランイカに似てるらしい
調べてみたら発光器の位置は同じなんだけど分布に日本が入ってないのが驚き
もしかして大発見だった?😅

Today is for #squid #videos (it seems).
Strange one, possibly a young Octopoteuthis (large fins, possible arm tip photophores visible) although why it's folded in half I can say. Capture trauma?
Also reminiscent of that weird Discoteuthis video.
