This name applies to several closely-related wild-caught species.

These estuarine cephalopods have mottled pinky-purple skin, long thin bodies, pointy side fins that run about half their body length, 8 shorter arms and 2 longer tentacles.

They are caught in estuaries along the NSW coast and tend to gather near the riverbed during the day, spreading out at night throughout the water and coming to the surface to feed.

They are mainly caught by jigging (using lights to attract them to the water’s surface at night).
