Squids & cuttlefish (decapodiform cephalopods) [Decapodiformes]

Description

Decapodiformes includes squids and cuttlefish—highly mobile cephalopods divers may see cruising in open water or hovering near reefs. With quick bursts of jet propulsion and dramatic color changes (especially cuttlefish), they can be both elusive and spectacular when they appear.
