Rare photo of a seahorse and paper nautilus in Florida

This rare and unique octopus lives a pelagic life and is rarely seen in Florida. Female paper nautiluses will produce a delicate egg casing in which it will live and lay eggs. For decades I was hopeful to one day see a paper nautilus and, much to my surprise, the first time I found one it was attached to this piece of sargassum seaweed floating along with a seahorse and some larval filefish. Mother nature truly wanted my first find to be unforgetable!
