Euprymna berryi
Bobtail Squid
Found in shallow coastal waters. Usually found on sandy and rubble bottoms or half buried in the sand. The light organ contains a type of Vibrio bacteria that produces the luminescence. This same bacteria also causes bioluminescence in pinecone fish. It uses its triangular fins to bury itself into the substrate and its arms to cover itself with sand grains.
