Genady Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 I've noticed this alien looking "thing" slowly drifting along the reef at the depth of about 10 m. It was about 4-5 m long, 30 cm in diameter. A flexible, hollow tube, so one could put an arm into it. Which I did. Here are more pictures, with a dive buddy of mine for a scale, and some closeups: It took me a while to find out, what it was. Egg mass of a diamondback squid, Thysanoteuthis rhombus.

Genady Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 I wanted to see what other big squids are doing with their egg masses. Not much known, but here is an interesting recent finding: This Mesmerising Underwater Blob Is Actually a Huge, Rare Mass of Squid Eggs (sciencealert.com)
