Steel thy shovel!
A model 2 years in the making. Also one of my few tries at Non-Metallic Metal. No joke, I bought a plastic WoC kit just to make this guy.

Squid and cuttlefish are both mollusks of the class Cephalopoda, which includes the squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and nautilus.
Both squid and cuttlefish have internal remnants of their ancient external shells, but these hard structures look quite different. Squid have a flexible, feather-shaped structure inside their bodies called the pen, where cuttlefish have a broader internal shell called the cuttlebone. The cuttlebone is porous and helps the cuttlefish stay buoyant underwater.
If you don’t want to dissect an unknown cephalopod to check its internal shell, just watch it move underwater. Squid are fast-moving predators, where cuttlefish are slower and move by undulating long fins on the sides of their bodies. You can also gaze into their eyes to tell them apart: squid have round pupils, where cuttlefish pupils are W-shaped.
And perhaps the easiest indicator of all? Squid have sleek, torpedo-shaped bodies, compared to the broader, stout body of the cuttlefish. (x)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any octopus photos, so here are two hatchlings under a microscope an hour post hatch. This species has a pelagic stage for a few weeks before settling to the benthic stage. They are about 3mm long.
