They average 8". They are very common in that area.

Thanks for the compliments on the photos. I will be going back to Palau in a few months and I will hopefully be able to get more photos.

I got the spelling from: Wikipedia

Nautilus (from Greek nautilos, 'sailor') is the common name of any marine creatures of the cephalopod family Nautilidae, the sole family of the suborder Nautilina. It comprises six species in two genera, the type of which is the genus Nautilus. Though it more specifically refers to the species Nautilus pompilius, the name chambered nautilus is also used for any species of the Nautilidae.

Having survived relatively unchanged for millions of years, nautiluses represent the only living members of the subclass Nautiloidea, and are often considered to be "living fossils."



I also heard that from the caretakers of the aquarium in Palau and here on Guam. I tried the Jellies but they kept getting stuck in the filter intake. I know they make jellyfish tanks.
