For Rate That Fish, how about the genus Argonauta, better known as Paper Nautilus / Argonauts!

Yoo! i’ve actually never heard of these guys! They’re octopodes but they really do resemble actual nautiluses! The females make their own ‘shells’ (eggcases) and wear them around! Fantastic cephalopods! I’m giving extra points because they’ve wrapped themselves up like presents and that’s a holiday theme.

Dulce muchacho aquel... Llegó a dormirse junto a mi pedestal, mas con el alba –siempre hay un alba– , regresó a su nave.
