Sepia spp.
Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses. 'Cuttle' is a reference to their unique internal shell, the cuttlebone; and despite their name, cuttlefish are true molluscs. Cuttlefish eat small molluscs, crabs, shrimp, fish, octopuses, worms, and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals, seabirds and other cuttlefish. Their life expectancy is about one to two years.

I actually don´t know the species of this cuttlefish. It was a small one, no more than 5 cm. It may have been a juvenile.

Thanks, @Marta.
I will check with Karen later if she can approve it to be a Global Mission.
