Sepioloidea lineolata
Species of cuttlefish / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sepioloidea lineolata or more commonly known as the striped pyjama squid or the striped dumpling squid is a type of bottletail squid[3] that inhabits the Indo-Pacific Oceans of Australia. Although traditionally falling within Sepiida, the cuttlefish order, it lacks a cuttlebone. More recent phylogenomic evidence suggests bottletail and bobtail squid may form their own order, Sepiolida.[4] The striped pyjama squid lives on the seafloor and is both venomous and poisonous. When fully mature, a striped pyjama squid will only be about 7 to 8 centimetres (2.8 to 3.1 in) in length. Baby striped pyjama squid can be smaller than 10 millimetres (0.39 in).
