Hatchling ID

[micstarz]

Journaling the rearing of a cuttlefish hatched from egg. Collected at a local beach in November 2020 in Krabi, Thailand - squidding and cuttle season here.

Hatchling is ~1cm in length (smaller than pinkynail)
Egg sac was around 2cm, found in cluster of 100+ on concrete pylon along sand bottom of a long sandy beach. Egg sac was white, roundish ovular with a stubby protruding tip. (no pics of egg sac, sorry)

Hi -- how is this coming along / have you gained any insights? Might be easier for folks to identify as it grows.

I wonder if Thales or someone with more cuttlefish experience would know?
