Watasenia scintillans | Firefly Squid
This is a firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans). This deepwater species ascends to relatively shallow water for reproduction purposes. Sometimes, as is pictured here, individuals appear to become disoriented, repeatedly hitting the substrate for no apparent reason. This species is known for its bioluminescence.
