Genus
Common name: Pygmy Squid
Scientific name: Idiosepius
Idiosepius is a genus of small cephalopods known as the Pygmy Squid. These diminutive squids are fascinating for their ability to attach to seagrass with a special adhesive organ. They are not common in the aquarium trade due to their specialized needs and short lifespans. In the wild, they are found in shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region. Hobbyists interested in keeping Idiosepius species must provide a tank with live seagrass or similar structures and be prepared for expert-level care.
