Bigfin Reef Squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana)

No, we are not in the Indian Ocean, but at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which reopened last week after a long covid break. Masks required, lots of distancing markers on the floor, limited ticketing, one-way arrows, and hand sanitizer dispensers that nearly outnumbered the fish. Visitors were reasonably respectful of boundaries, but children seemed to have acquired shriller louder voices after being locked up with only their parents for such a long time. Nevertheless, it was nice to see our old friends the jellyfish, and to stand mesmerized by the kelp forest swaying back and forth. It was a good outing.
