Common Cuttlefish
Sepia officinalis
Adult common cuttlefish range across coastal waters over sand, mud, seagrass, and reef edges. They hunt crabs, shrimp, molluscs, and fish, approaching with camouflage before striking with two extendable feeding tentacles. An internal porous cuttlebone helps control buoyancy, allowing precise hovering close to the seabed.
