Ascarosepion latimanus [Ascarosepion latimanus]
Description
This cuttlefish is a fascinating find for divers who like to search the seafloor carefully. It often appears as a well-camouflaged silhouette that becomes more distinct as it changes color and posture. If you’re lucky, you may see it extend and reposition its arms while foraging, then settle again to blend into the bottom.
