Here’s @deepseauwa.bsky.social’s footage, which includes many of the endemic Antarctic squid, such as Slosarczykovia circumantarctica, Alluroteuthis antarctica, and Moroteuthopsis longimana:

sigh i’m too lazy to fix it but it’s Alluroteuthis antarticus, not Alluroteuthis antarctica. Leave it to me to get the hard one right (slosarczykovia lol) and mess up the easy ones

Species update: This is a Slosarczykovia circumantarctica, a member of the family Brachioteuthidae. Special thanks to Austin Horenkamp.

The skin net of Slosarczykovia has no right to be this dang beautiful! Very lovely patterning of the Slosarczykovia 'net'!

Researchers used ROV SuBastian in the Southern Ocean to film elusive species—Moratoothopsis longimana, Slosarczykovia circumantarctica, and Alluroteuthis antarcticus—between 1,000–1,500 m depth. These sightings offer rare glimpses into frigid, twilight marine life.

I have attained a new level of Squid

@brachioteuthis.bsky.social said Slosarczykovia possibly

Hey y'all! Sorry I like never touch this but with Twitters soon to be heavy downfall I'll try to use this more! Looking forward to doing my first decent sized conference showing off the amazing Brachioteuthidae... in 4 hours (At 11:30PM) fun times!!

The bright-yellow ring you see around the eye in this first photo is the photophore on what is likely a Slosarczykovia circumantarctica in the family brachioteuthidae.

This whole family is know for their long ventral ocular photophores.
