Teensy tentacles

On my recent visit to Lembeh Straight, I had the good fortune to see a blue-ring octo ("BRO") - the fourth I've ever seen. Only a few yards from the BRO, the dive guides located this itty bitty fellow - barely visible, and only 1/4 to 1/2 inch high. I thought I detected some very faint rings on it as it tried to evade our annoying eyes/strobes, but this photo - the only decent one I got - doesn't seem to show any rings.

Anyone see something that would help me ID the little guy?

Hi Bruce - Unfortunately we don't have any IP ceph experts here and the tiny stuff is especially hard to id. There's a list of experts on this page - http://www.tolweb.org/onlinecontributors/a...al&sp=19386

Mark Norman wrote the photo guide to cephalopods and Christine Huffard has done a lot of work in the IP so those are two possibilities to contact.

Good luck & let us know if you get a response on this or your other post.
