Bobtail squid species edit

This Bobtail squid is adorable, but is it really Euprymna scolopes? In most of the pictures I've seen, E. scolopes is light-colored and sort of whitish; the squid in your picture is a dark bluish-purple. It looks more like E. berryi to me... but I'm certainly no squidologist! If you're uncertain about the species too, maybe it would be better just to classify it as Euprymna sp. until an expert comes along? Vectornaut (talk) 02:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cuttlefish edit

Hi there. Do you know what species of cuttlefish this is? Wonderful image by the way! Mgiganteus1 (talk) 09:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Mgiganteus, thanks for the comment. I am pretty sure this is Broadclub Cuttlefish, Sepia latimanus. I will update the entry with this information. Nhobgood (talk) 19:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Comb jelly edit

Hi Nick -- It is a nice picture, but your comb jelly is a little pyrosome (a colonial salp) and not a ctenophore. beroe (talk) 20:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Beroe. The image has been moved. Nick Nhobgood (talk) 01:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Nhobgood! I wanted to thank you for your really superb marine gastropod images. Invertzoo (talk) 17:48, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

East Timor edit

Hi there. I notice East Timor has no fauna/ecology section. Do you have sources to write - or at least start - such a section? A couple of years ago, I wrote the equivalent section in Indonesia. regards --Merbabu (talk) 23:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

White spotted jellyfish edit

Hi, putting this pic at the top of F and A next week. Any story of how you came across the specimen? You were scuba diving, I presume. Just looking for one or two quotable fragments. Tony (talk) 06:52, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Tony ! Yes, this jellyfish was encountered while Scuba diving at approximately 12 meters depth off of a 45 meter wall on the East side of the mouth of Fort-Liberté bay in Northern Haiti. Local fishermen say the bay is a breeding area for jellyfish, attracting juvenile Loggerhead sea turtles that feed on the jellyfish. The fishermen also claim that the Mangrove complex in the southern part of the bay is home for Manatees. --Nhobgood (talk) 13:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
