The skin of the
squid Loligo plei, showing chromatophores, one of the specialized cells
cephalopods use to change color.
Figure 2
Octopus filosus swimming. The ocellus (eye spot) is an important
feature for identification of this species.
Figure 3
The white spots
of Octopus macropus are indicative of this species complex of octopuses.
Figure 4
The Caribbean
Reef Octopus, Octopus briarieus, is strongly nocturnal. The animal shown here is hunting at night;
notice the extended web.
Figure 5
The paralarvae of
the squid Loligo forbesii are planktonic but are well developed for
mollusk offspring.

Sepioteuthis (reef Squid)

This is a growth
series showing the changes in morphology with age.
Figure 8
The suckers on a
cuttlefish arm (top) are progressively smaller towards the distal end of the
arm. The longer tentacles have suckers
only at their distal ends (bottom).
