Slinky of the Sea. A rarely sighted Diamondback Squid Egg Mass. Incredible vision of a squid egg mass has been recently filmed by Dreamtime Dive & Snorkel Marine Biologists at Flynn Reef on the Great Barrier Reef. Made up of about 20,000 to 40,000 squid eggs all moving together, they can reach lengths of up to 200cm. These gelatinous masses are truly something to behold. Each tiny pink pearl is actually a squid egg. Sightings like these are incredibly rare and only a handful ever recorded. GBR B

Slinky of the Sea. A super rare Diamondback Squid Egg Mass. Filmed recently by @passionsofparadise, this giant wiggly ribbon is made up of 20,000 to 40,000 squid eggs all drifting along together, sometimes growing up to 2 metres long. Every little pink dot is a baby squid in the making. And the wildest part which we aren’t sure has ever been filmed before? A turtle cruised by and started snacking on the eggs like it was no big deal. Moments like this are incredibly rare on the Great Barrier Reef

Watch: Squid egg "balls" are rarely seen, as they're deep underwater and last for only a few days before the babies hatch and the mass disintegrates. Scientists recently got an up-close look. | National Geographic

Whoa! What do you think this is? If you guessed 40,000 squid eggs, you'd be right! The two-metre-long mass was filmed off Cape Tribulation, north of Cairns. 🦑 One expert said the eggs were likely laid by a diamondback squid. 📹: Ocean Safari | ABC Australia

Deep Sea Footage on Instagram: "A squid egg mass drifts through the water—a giant, gelatinous sphere that can stretch several meters across, sometimes larger than a human. Inside, thousands of embryos develop in protective capsules, each one a tiny squid waiting to hatch. Rarely seen, these floating nurseries reveal one of the ocean’s most remarkable reproductive strategies. Follow @deepseafootage for more! 🦑⚓️"

One of the few squids that brood eggs: Gonatus Onyx, seen on a recent #OctoOdyssey dive. The large egg mass is suspended from hooks on the squid’s arms, and while carrying it for several months, the cephalopod will go without feeding. Although they are neutrally buoyant (don’t require any effort to float or swim - they can conserve energy by remaining motionless) brooding squid cannot swim very quickly, and may be easy prey for deep-diving marine mammals.

Explaining The Ocean on Instagram: "the midnight depths of the ocean, researchers made one of the rarest encounters ever filmed— a giant squid egg mass. Via // @natgeo This enormous, shimmering sphere is made of jelly-like mucus, holding thousands of tiny squid embryos. Each one floats in perfect suspension, waiting for the right moment to hatch. The structure is fragile, delicate, and nearly invisible in the dark. It may drift for weeks before the young squid emerge into the open ocean. Encount

These Opalescent Squid were the highlight today, we found hundreds of them gathering to lay these large clusters of eggs. They’ll lay their egg casings together, likely to avoid predators from having easy pickings. The water was so clear and a large swarm of the squid was circling higher up until they’d get in close to deposit their eggs.#diving #squid #scuba #nature #wildlife #ocean
