Why this score
Highly admired for reef behavior, intelligence-like signaling, and color change; strong diver and science reputation.
Scoring methodology
Sepioteuthis lessoniana, commonly known as the bigfin reef squid or oval squid, is a species of loliginid squid widely distributed across the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region. It is easily recognized by its large oval fins, which extend along the entire length of its mantle, giving it a distin...

Bigfin reef squid is visually striking, widespread, commercially valuable, and well studied in aquaculture.
Scoring methodology
The bigfin reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) is a coastal species found throughout the Indo-Pacific region, recognized by its large oval fins that give it a cuttlefish-like appearance. Belonging to the Loliginidae family, it inhabits shallow tropical and temperate waters where it relies on color-...
Why this score
Prominent Indo-Pacific reef squid, aquaculture interest and striking appearance; strong but partly overlaps with related reef squids.
Scoring methodology
The southern reef squid (Sepioteuthis australis) is a loliginid squid species found in the temperate coastal waters of southern Australia and New Zealand. It is morphologically distinguished by its large, oval fins that extend along nearly the entire length of its mantle, giving it a characteristic...
Why this score
Recognizable southern reef squid with broad fins and regional interest; less prominent than Caribbean or bigfin reef squid.

Sepioteuthis lessoniana, the bigfin reef squid, is a large loliginid squid distributed across the Indo-Pacific, where it is commonly associated with coastal reefs and seagrass areas. It has large, oval fins that extend along most of the mantle, giving it a manta-like outline. The species is studied...
Sepioteuthis australis, known as the southern reef squid, is a loliginid squid native to coastal waters around southern Australia and New Zealand. Its broad fin running along much of the mantle gives it a superficial resemblance to a cuttlefish, although it is a true squid. The species lives in rela...
Sepioteuthis sepioidea, the Caribbean reef squid, is a tropical squid of the family Loliginidae that lives in shallow Caribbean reef environments. It uses chromatophores in its skin to change body patterns and can use polarized light as a communication signal, a form of signaling that is not readily...
