I went snorkeling at the reef that is off the point at the end of Sekewa Beach near the bungalow we rented called Tropic Splendor. I had the good fortune on this outing (I was by myself because Donna was nursing a cold I gave her from my travels in Indonesia) to encounter a school of about 25 reef squid. I love all cephalopods - squid, octopus, cuttlefish. I look forward to see the Monterey Aquarium's new cephalopod exhibit called "Tentacles" that opens April 15 (http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/calendar/MemberEvents.aspx ).
Squid can change color at the blink of an eye. I'm not sure if this was the start of amorous behavior or just dominance games.
One squid has a very distinctively different color.
