Marine biologist shared an adorable photo shared with him of the flamboyant miniature squid.
The photo, sent to him by Kirsty-Jo Muddiman, shows the bobtail squid (Sepiola sp) – a very small squid which normally do not grow beyond a length of a centimetre.
They are mainly nocturnal and bury themselves during the day.
Have you ever spotted one?

A third of these 65 have had an abortion.
‘“We are no longer afraid to speak out. We refuse to be shamed, judged, or threatened for making decisions about our own lives. Instead of being criminalised, believe we deserve compassion and understanding.”
The project aims to stand in solidarity with those who had an abortion, with the campaign urging others who wish to join the cause and blend in with the names and help protect them.
