A bigfin reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) descends from open water to the reef at night. Reef squid are less streamlined and bulkier than other squid, and are easily confused with cuttlefish, hence the first part of their scientific name. They have a voracious appetite, devouring about half their body weight a day in small fish, shrimps and crabs. Triton Bay, West Papua, Indonesia. Arafur Sea.
