MARINE INVERTEBRATES 



visits the shores in large schools, presumably in pursuit of prey, and often 

 itself becomes the victim. It is a beautiful creature from its varying 

 colors, which are truly wonderful. It changes in a moment from vivid 

 red to deep blue, purple, orange, and so on, the colors often passing 

 over it in flashes as it swims along. 



Ommastrephes illecebrosus, young 

 male ; ventral view.
