These "Bobtail squid" are really more like cuttlefish. They have been bred in
captivity. They are a member of a group that is somewhere in-between squid
and cuttlefish. They are tiny little things usually less than 3". they only live
to be about 3 months old. They would be good as a colony in a refugium. One
of the other odd things about them is that they glow in the dark due to a pouch
of bacteria they carry around for camouflage.
