Tropical cuttlefish

Distribution : Indo-Pacific reefs; range varies between species.

On the seabed, a cuttlefish can almost disappear among the relief. This encounter invites a closer look at camouflage. Reef cuttlefish mainly use coastal areas, with depth varying between species.

WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

The broad body has an undulating fin along its sides. Eight arms surround the mouth; two capture tentacles may remain hidden. Skin colour and texture can change. Dimensions depend on species.

WHERE DO THEY LIVE?

Reefs and nearby seabeds provide concealment. Arm shape alone does not confirm a species here; this group guide remains separate from the Mediterranean common cuttlefish.

WHAT DO THEY EAT?

They hunt crustaceans and fish. Tentacles seize prey and the beak cuts it. No particular catalog animal is identified as prey from the film alone.
