Looks like it's carved from a lemon drop.

Follow the yellow squid float!
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

I agree.  Mostly it's the skin stretched between the tentacles that makes it look like it has been photoshoped.  But, while rare, this has been observed on many occasions.  The reason isn't known, but the best hypothesis I've heard for the behavior is jumping out of the water to avoid predators.

Either that, or squid are experimenting with forming an air force.

PZ goes in for some gratuitous capitalism, offering T-shirts, coffee mugs and stuff.

And the tentacles look quite a bit like antlers.
A neon stag squid? ;)

Are you sure that's what they're doing?  Doesn't look like fun to me.

I think it is rather two octopoi doing the Mandelbrot.
Looks extremly fractal to me.
