Sepioteuthis sepioidea
A small, torpedo-shaped squid with undulating fins that extend nearly the entire length of the body, approximately 20 cm (8 in) In 2001, marine biologist Silvia Maciá discovered that squid were able to propel themselves up out of the water about 2 m and fly approximately 10 m before re-entry; a discovery which led to the identification of six species of flying squid.
Near to shore by the only rock along the whole beach, rather a surprise as the first (and only) encounter I have had with these fascinating fish.
Changed to other as an invertebrate and not a fish
