Piglet Squid Siphon Looks Like a Snout | Nautilus Live

“What are you?“ “What is that?!“ The Nautilus team enjoyed a quick close-up with a see-through piglet squid (Helicocranchia sp.), named for its large siphon that looks like a snout. Able to regulate buoyancy with an ammonia-filled internal chamber, this stunning squid is often observed with its tentacles flared above its head. Spotted at 1385m near Palmyra Atoll.
