Caribbean Reef Squid Sep 14, 2017. Seen in The Sampler, Klein bonaire. <br /> It was part of a larger group. They swim parallel to each other and you can see how they communicate to each other by changing colors.

      Thank you! It was not easy! It took some quite following up of the herd of squid so that they would not go away too fast. I will post another pic ,less good, but showing the herd or school together. Posted 7 years ago

The Caribbean reef squid

Caribbean reef squid , commonly called reef squid, are small 20 cm torpedo-shaped squid with undulating fins that extend nearly the entire length of the body. In 2001, marine biologist Silvia Maciá discovered that squid were able to propel themselves up out of the water about 2 m and fly approximately 10 m before re-entry; a discovery which led to the identification of six species of flying squid.
