Broadclub cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) being watched by a scuba diver. Cuttlefish can rapidly change the colour of their skin by dilating or contracting pigment cells called chromatophores. This cuttlefish preys largely on crustaceans,which it catches with a quick strike with its two tentacles (not seen). These are usually kept hidden amongst its eight arms,as here. This cuttlefish is found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. It may reach a length of around 45 centimetres. Photographed off Indonesia | |
