Doratosepion andreanum [Doratosepion andreanum]
Description
This cuttlefish is often associated with deeper or more structured seafloor areas, where it can blend into complex backgrounds. Divers may spot it hovering just above rocks or sand, then settling down as it matches the surrounding textures. Its behavior is typically calm and deliberate, with impressive color shifts that can look almost like living camouflage.
