Bigfin Reef Squid
Sepioteuthis lessoniana
Bigfin reef squid inhabit shallow tropical coastal waters, including reefs, seagrass beds, and mangrove-lined lagoons. They hunt small fish, crustaceans, and other squid using their two long feeding tentacles and sharp beak. Rapid fin movements and jet propulsion let them maneuver quickly through open water. Their skin contains chromatophores that can produce striking color changes for camouflage, signaling, and courtship.
