Anilao Cephalopoda

Cephalopoda in Anilao includes species of octopus, squid and cuttlefish. Many species can be difficult to identify, so many of the names we use are tentative, several based on similarities to photos in Humann & DeLoach (2010). This page does not include all species of cephalopods found in the Anilao area, only those for which we happened to get photos.
