TedGStriped pyjama squid (Sepioloidea lineolata)
Day 28 of #invertober#invertober2023
The striped pyjama squid is not a squid at all—it’s part of the family Sepiadariidae, which is a group of cuttlefish. During the day, striped pyjama squid will bury into the sand to hide from potential predators. They keep their yellow-ish eyes above the sand, which allows them to keep watch for delicious fish or crustaceans to eat. #squid#cuttlefish#molluscs#marinelife#marinebiology#invertebrates
