Luteuthis dentatus [Luteuthis dentatus]
Description
This is a deep-sea squid with a distinctive, somewhat “toothy” look that can stand out when it turns its body in the beam of a diver’s light. In suitable conditions, divers may see it hovering or gliding calmly, then slipping away into the darker water column.
