    The Octopus bimaculoides is native to the coast of California, not to be confused with its larger cousin Octopus bimaculatus (which would be too big to fit in this coffee mug 🤪) 🤩🐙

    New Euprymna scolopes hatchlings. So many babies in those last days! This species has a very active planktonic phase during the first weeks of its life, this represents a challenge for culture. Fortunately, I'm collaborating with the , so the babies are in good hands!

    Euprymna berryi are experts at burying and disguising. Using a biological adhesive produced by their glue gland, they can stick sand and other substrates to themselves! 🦑🤯🦑

    The striped pyjama squid, Sepioloidea lineolata, spends much of its time buried beneath the substrate 🦑 Here, we get a glimpse of an adult S.lineolata out of the sand and showing off its namesake 🌟

    The flamboyant cuttlefish, even with its brilliant array of colors, is able to hide in plain sight. How? 🤔 There are two main components: soft tissue known as papillae that allows for the appearance of texture on its skin & pigment containing cells known as chromatophores.

    A hermit crab? Wait no, an Octopus chierchiae! Could have fooled us! 🤪 This pygmy zebra striped octopus covering itself with a shell is an example of how they can interact with and utilize resources in their environment 🐙🤩

    We can’t stop looking at the cool chromatophores on this Euprymna berryi! 🦑🤩🦑(Chromatophores are the pigment containing cells that allow cephs to change color and camouflage) 📸 captured this hummingbird bobtail squid’s chromatophores in amazing detail! 😍

    These two Octopus chierchiae are mating peacefully and successfully! 😍 The male O. chierchiae is on top and light in color. We know it’s successful because we can see the hectocotylus, the specialized arm that delivers spermatophores, entering the female’s mantle cavity 🤩🐙🐙
