Original ID squid. Previous ID Sepia sp. by Harim Cha, 2011. Examined by C. Seid, 2023-01-09: certainly octopod, resembles Amphitretidae; skin too damaged to assess iridophores, but has a hectocotylized right arm with three enlarged suckers, indicating Bolitaena pygmaea (http://tolweb.org/Bolitaena_pygmaea/20223).
