species ID and care needed

is that a yolk sac I see still attached to this newborn?

Hey Gary,

That looks like bandensis to me, and is most likely to be as that is the species most commonly imported. Doesn't look like yolk to me as that is usually white in color - that looks like a bit of the eggs stuck on. Yolk usually looks like the fifth pic down on this page (just not still in the egg):

And is usually a sign of some sort of stress and an early hatching.

thanks, Thales.
Is there a husbandry website readily available for bandensis?

My first article is available at
http://www.daisyhillcephfarm.com/cuttle/article_bandensis1/index.html
its a little outdated, especially regarding groups of animals,but most of the info is good.
There is newer information located at www.bandensis.com
TFH has a new article, but I have no idea when they will publish it.
Also, www.TONMO.com has the most cephalopod husbandry info.
