Digitosepia shazae [Digitosepia shazae]

Description

Digitosepia shazae is typically encountered as a low-profile cuttlefish that stays close to the substrate. Underwater, divers may see it display subtle but striking patterning—dark and light bands or spots—especially when it’s alert. If approached too closely, it can retreat quickly, often leaving only a brief glimpse of its changing colors.
