The Firefly Squid is one of many deep-sea creatures in the game. You probably already know how to catch these critters, but we’ll explain just in case. Grab a wet suit and start swimming in the waters around your island. Look for bubbles coming out of the water with a small shadow size on the surface. Dive down and see what it is.Â
A small shadow could be indicative of a few different sea creatures, including the Firefly Squid, Flatworm, Acorn Barnacle, or Sea Slug. If you want to catch the Firefly Squid, make sure to search between 9 pm and 4 am.
