Reef Squid

We've seen reef squid while snorkeling the past few days. We LOVE the reef squid! They are beautiful and so much fun to watch. They usually travel in pods - we've seen as many as 24 together. The video is of a pod of babies, guys about three inches long.

They were in about 18 inches of water, just a few feet from the shore. There were probably 5o people in the water within 20 feet of these little guys, totally oblivious to what was there, just under the water a few feet away. Of course the squid were (mostly) oblivious to the people too.

There are more new reef squid pictures and some older ones as well on Flickr.
