Euprymna berryi
This one was spotted burying itself during a night dive. Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, which also includes squid, octopi, and nautiluses. 'Cuttle' is a reference to their unique internal shell, the cuttlebone. Despite their name, cuttlefish are true molluscs.

Hi Marta..no actually not..they are quite busy bodies..so their movement draws the eye..but once they are buried, no chance!!
Wow! Nice! I can imagine how tiny it was! and hidden in the sand must have been difficult to spot it at first!
Thank you Mark...yes, one is lucky to see them..within seconds they bury themselves under the sand!
