Inshore Squids [Loliginidae]

Description

Inshore squids are sleek, fast-moving cephalopods that often cruise just above sandy bottoms or hover near seagrass and rocky edges. Divers may spot them flashing through the water column, using quick bursts of jet propulsion and rapid color changes to communicate or evade.
