pygmy squid @ chek jawa 10Jan2009

Came across this tiny pygmy squid at Chek Jawa on 10Jan2009 after the Team Seagrass session.
It was only about 2cm long and it seemed all orange which is a first time for me as I've seen similar squids all spotty before. It was doing a crazy dance going back and forth before finally settling on the sandy bottom.

The tide was coming in and so the water was beginning to turn murky.
