Inopinoteuthis hoylei [Inopinoteuthis hoylei]
Description
This deep-sea cephalopod is typically encountered far from the usual dive depths, but when conditions align, divers may observe a compact, mysterious silhouette. With careful attention to movement, you may notice it holding position or slowly drifting, its body and tentacles subtly adjusting as it responds to the surrounding water.
