Squid sorted by the depth they actually live at. The shallow end holds bigfin reef and Caribbean reef squid over coral, bobtail squid buried in night sand, and market squid massing to spawn in cold coastal water. The twilight zone brings strawberry squid with their two mismatched eyes, bigeye squid, and glass squid that are very nearly transparent. Below that it turns strange, with vampire squid in the oxygen minimum layer, firefly squid and pyroteuthids lit by their own photophores, and cockatoo squid drifting in the dark. At the bottom are the giants: giant squid in the abyss and colossal squid in Antarctic deep water. Each frame carries water that matches the depth, from sunlit reef down to the black beyond the last light. Full UHD for desktop, streaming and print.
