Bigfin reef squid

These are usually seen swimming up off the bottom, usually in groups (squid squads?) during the day. At night we more often see them alone and theycan be a bit easier to approach. Usually just one flash of the camera's strobe causes them to dart away into the darkness.

At night in a school of small fish.

This large individual was hanging around a boat mooring line.
