w49c #1 This is a nice display showing a baby Squid in a glass dome. These little creatures are commonly seen over inshore reefs! This squid is showcased in a 2 3/4" x 2" removable glass dome display case with a black bottom. This would be a great addition to any collection as well as a great teaching tool.
Species: Sepioteuthis sepioidea
The Caribbean reef squid is found throughout the Caribbean sea as well as off the coast of Florida, commonly in small schools of four to thirty in the shallows associated with reefs. The habitat of the Reef Squid changes according to the squid's stage of life and size. New hatchlings tend to reside close to the shore in areas from 0.2 to 1 metre (1 to 3 ft) below the surface on or under vegetation. Young small squid typically congregate in shallow turtle grass near islands and remain several centimeters to two meters from the surface to avoid bird predators. Adults venture out into open water and can be found in depths up to 150 m. When mating, adults are found near coral reefs in depths of 1.5 to 8 metres (5 to 26 ft). The Caribbean reef squid is the only squid species commonly sighted by divers over inshore reefs in the Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean regions.
