Euprymna berryi Sasaki, 1929
Bobtail squid or Berry's bobtail

The ever popular Bobtail squid is not too uncommon on muck sites at night. When approached with a light, the Bobtail will usually bury itself in the sand, stretching out a couple of its arms to sweep sand over itself, usually leaving just the eyes visible.

This one captured a shrimp.
