Thanks for the comment. I am curious if you have a dark cave like area in the aquarium where the nautilus would hang out away from light.

Nice!

Thanks for the nice comments. Feel free to use the link on other site as requested. By the way this is the same nautilus throughout the video. I filmed it starting at 5 meters until 40 meters when I said bye and watched it descend. I hope it made it down safely to the bottom of the 500meter wall where it came from.

Wow! This Animal looks like the first animals that appear in the ocean no?

@meahschmeah If you look closely their eyes are more like pinholes and they aren't the primary sense for feeding, lacking a large lens. People believe they use olfaction as their main sense. Basically, they spread their tentacles out into a cone during feeding and use a sense of feel and smell (olfaction) to detect prey.

If nautilus are always traveling backwards, how do they see or sense where they're going?
