The Stubby Squid resides on sandy sloping subtidal bottoms. At night they may even be found in the intertidal zone. A nocturnal hunter, the Stubby Squid primarily feast on shrimp, but will eat small crab, fish, and other cephalopods. They spend their days buried to their eyes in the sandy sediment, which they may also do to hide from predators. If threatened, they can emit a black ink as they jet away.
