The greatest depth at which a nautilus has been sighted is 703 m (2,306 ft) (N. pompilius). [39] Implosion depth for nautilus shells is thought to be around 800 m (2,600 ft). [25] [39] Only in New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands, and Vanuatu can nautiluses be observed in very shallow water, at depths of as little as 5 m (15 ft).
The chambered nautilus (Nautilus pompilius), also called the pearly nautilus, is the best-known species of nautilus. The shell, when cut away, reveals a lining of lustrous nacre and displays a nearly perfect equiangular spiral, although it is not a golden spiral. The shell exhibits countershading, being light on the bottom and dark on top. This ...
Nautilus have been observed to spend days in deeper areas around coral reefs, to avoid predation from turtles and carnivorous fish, and ascend to shallow areas of the reef during nights. [18] [11] Here, they engage in scavenging activity, seeking out animal remains, and the moults of crustaceans. Nautilus species usually travel and feed alone.
The Palau nautilus (Nautilus belauensis) is a nautiloid mainly found off of Palau in the Western Carolines. [2] It can be found on fore reef slopes, [3] at depths of 95m-504m (311'-1,653'), though typically preferring a range of 150m-300m (492'-984'), where water temperatures stay around 16.6 °C (61.88°F) and do not go much lower than 9.4 °C (48.92°F).

Like all Nautilus species, N. macromphalus usually lives at depths of several hundred metres. During the night, however, they rise to much shallower waters (2 to 20 m depth) to feed. The tentacles of this species are long and thin, having raised ridges which help provide grip when catching prey. N. macromphalus is the
We worked hard finding active fish in the main lake and it paid off with a 38-inch, 20½ pounder and a 42 inch, 29 pounder, both released, that we got working the 40-50 foot depth range.
The almost vertical reef walls, which rise from a depth of about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), are home to a dwarf form of Nautilus pompilius that is isolated from other nautilus populations by more than 100 kilometres (62 mi). [1] [2] [4] Schindleria brevipinguis, one of the world's smallest fish, is found in the Osprey Reef lagoon. [5]
Nautilus stenomphalus, also known as the white-patch nautilus, is a species of nautilus native to the Great Barrier Reef. N. stenomphalus is very similar to N. pompilius and may in fact represent a subspecies. It is separated by the absence of a thickened callus and the presence of white patches in the umbilical and shoulder regions of the shell.
