#CephalopodWeek LAST DAY! Hopefully, this won't be the last day for living #Nautilus . The primary reason for their decline is due to #overfishing because their shells are so uniquely, beautiful. #savethenautilus
It's #CephalopodWeek 🦑🎉 We're celebrating our cuttlefish, squid, octopus and all molluscan class Cephalopoda friends out there!
Celebrate cephalopods with us by seeing them for yourself at our aquarium! Get your tickets online at mote.org.

#CephalopodWeek last day! Two #livingfossil together (although I hate that term...), the #nautilus and #hagfish dining on raw chicken in the Philippines. This #BRUVs record also shows another occurrence of nautilus not attempting to eat live prey. #savethenautilus
Did you know that the Ram’s Horn Squid, Spirula spirula, was filmed alive for the first time less than 3 years ago?! This deep-sea squid uses its internal shell for buoyancy and can emit a green light from its mantle #CephalopodWeek #WednesdayWisdom
#CephalopodWeek last day! Had to say goodbye to some other #nautilus in the Solomon Islands being released a few years ago after being measured, photographed, and sampled on the boat. On to more #BRUVs work to survey more areas and more #cephalopod cousins! #savethenautilus
Say hello to a cephalopod you should know—the corkscrew squid, Planctoteuthis danae.
This deep-sea squid has an ornate tail, the function of which is unknown. Other squids in the family Chiroteuthidae have ornate tails as juveniles, but lose them as adults. #CephalopodWeek
It's #CephalopodWeek ! 🥳🐙
Perfect time to introduce you to our newest octopus, Goji. Goji is a giant Pacific octopus, which is the largest species of octopus. She is only 10 pounds, but will likely grow to be over 50! Stop by to see her in our Northern Pacific Gallery.
#CephalopodWeek last day! #BRUVs of 1 #nautilus and 1 #fuzzynautilus enjoying some tuna together while a #stingray checks out the action in Papua New Guinea. #savethenautilus
