Opheodesoma aff. gri<strong>sea</strong><br />

This species probably is comprised <strong>of</strong> several good species, such as <strong>the</strong> one pictured above. It is<br />

reddish brown dorsally and ventrally with similarly coloured tentacles and grows to about 70 cm<br />

in length. The specimens figured were spawning as were numerous o<strong>the</strong>r specimens <strong>of</strong> identical<br />

colour and form, suggesting this is a verifiable species.<br />
