Broadclub Cuttlefish

Sepia latimanus

Description:

The cuttlefish changes colour so rapidly that it can create waves that roll over its skin, incredible out of this world waves of colour that are so unusual or beautiful that they will completely mesmerise its prey, allowing the cuttlefish to drift right up to them and eat them. Next time you see a mangrove leaf on the reef, look closely, it may be a juvenile Broabclub Cuttlefish. Ocean Freedom

Habitat:

Upolu Reef

Thank you Maria, I was diving when I saw the cuttlefish.
Ocean Freedom is the boat that will take you to the dive site.

Impressive ocean denizen! Were you diving when you took the photo? Upolu Reef is where you saw it? If so, that can go in the habitat section of the spotting. What is Ocean Freedom?
