Our local Southern Calamari, Sepioteuthis australis, are amazing creatures able to change their body colour at will to match the surrounds.

During a moonless night however their chromatophores attempt to match the darkness and saturate with all kinds of intense colours. The moment you hit them with a a flash of white light they they show colours you would never have imagined. Just beautiful!

Despite the darkness this guy is keeping an eye out as we are diving in a popular squidding location off Rapid Bay Jetty. I'm sure he's safe from the chef's pan, at least for now!
