The best time to wear pyjamas is all the time… just ask the striped pyjama squid (Sepioloidea lineolata)! Despite its common name, this critter is actually a cuttlefish—and it’s one of the few poisonous cephalopods known to science. When threatened, it can change color and secrete slime to intimidate foes. It typically spends its days nestled beneath the sand, rising at night to hunt for small shrimp and fish. This species inhabits shallow waters around Australia, including near the Great Barrier Reef.

Today's cephalopod weirdo: The Pyjama squid

No, it's not a melting scoop of stracciatella ice cream. It's the Pyjama squid (Sepioloidea lineolata)!

Like their cousins the bobtails, they often bury in the sediment. They're in the order Sepiida, which includes bobtails, cuttlefish, bottletails, and these cuties.

Some articles on the internet will say stuff like "These animals are technically cuttlefish" and... listen... I don't know who said that, but whoever said it is wrong, and now sources all over the damn internet are repeating it, and like... I shouldn't let it bother me, ya know? But it does, unfortunately, make me feel like my eyeballs are going to fall out of my head.

Because words MEAN something, you know? And the word cuttlefish means an animal with a cuttlebone in it. The cuttlefish are a distinct bunch of critters. Their fins go around their whole bodies*, they have W shaped pupils, but most critically, they have a buoyancy device called a cuttlebone. That cuttlebone keeps them neutrally buoyant- so they neither float nor sink. They just chill. They're able to control the buoyancy with gas exchange between their blood and the little gas chambers in that cuttlebone. The other members of the Sepiida, the bottletails, pyjama squid, and bobtails, they don't have any of that. Sure, they're totally, 100%, most closely related among the cephalopods to cuttlefish, but... cuttlefish... are their own little group within that branch of the family tree.

*Ok to be fair, it's very easy to confuse cuttlefish and reef squid, but that's a whole other post.

The striped pajama squid!!!! (which is actually a cuttlefish)

I’m SO happy with how this adorable little guy turned out. This was one of the first times I designed a pattern and didn’t have to redo it a million times.

You can adopt your own cuddly pajama clad cuttlefish here!
