Dear Liz and Conch-Lers,
Dr. Janet Voight, octopod specialist at the Field Museum in Chicago believes
that the species is Tremoctopus violaceus. According to her, there is
another record of the species from Boynton Beach, a little further up north
from Delray.
Cheers,
José

Hi Paul - I think all the images are of Tremoctopus, but I don't know what
species. See http://tolweb.org/Tremoctopus.

help appreciated
CONCH-L subscribers,
Recently, a couple live, large Cephalopods have been videotaped in
shallow water off the central eastern coast of Florida (Jupiter and
Delray Beach areas). Additionally, a Cephalopod was found stranded
(dead, beached) in the Delray Beach, Florida area.
Any assistance with identification is appreciated!
If help is offered, please be sure to specify which images are being
addressed, as we're not sure that all images are of the same species.
