Hi All,
Some lovely cephalopod eggs have come into my possession via a local fisherman.We originally just wanted Sepia officinalis which we have but he's also given us the eggs in the photos. The small round ones look like another type of cuttlefish. They are around about the same size as the s.officinalis I was thinking due to the location (english channel/south coast) that they were found maybe they were S.orbignyana but I'm not sure if the egg is the right colour or size.
As for the longer eggs, my first thoughts are myopsid squid. The question though is which one. Any suggestions?
Any questions please let me know. I will be rearing these if they are fertile (I have big tanks at my disposal) so eventually I'll figure out what they are, but I'm like a kid at christmas I want to know what's inside the presents!
