Coral Reef Fact:
Photographed by Jan Derk in March 2005 on Bonaire. Wikipedia
Caribbean Reef Squid (Sepioteuthis sepioidea) are 1 of 6 species of “flying squid”. These squid “fly” by expanding their mantle which fills with water. They quickly contract their muscles to expel the water to propel themselves in any direction & sometimes times out of the water if they are startled or fleeing predators.
