More closely related to cuttlefish than squid, the Pinstriped Bottletail Squid is a small predator that buries itself in sand during the day, and feeds at night. It is a pale colour, with dark longitudinal stripes comprised of chromatophores, colour-changing cells that it can alter or even flash to confuse predators. This animal, with its unique appearance, is unlikely to be confused with any other species.
