Minute Cephalopod, originally uploaded by PacificKlaus.

The photographer spotted this juvenile Bobtail Squid on a night dive off the Philippine island of Mactan. Bobtails—the order Sepiolida—are closely related to cuttlefish (order Sepiida), but they have a rounder mantle and don’t possess a cuttlebone. I don’t know what species this is, but it is the epitome of squishy cuteness!

Check out his complete Mactan dive photo set for more spectacular shots of sea life, including a photogenic little octopus.
