Broadclub Cuttlefish [Sepia latimanus]
Description
This cuttlefish is known for its distinctive body shape and bold, shifting patterns that help it blend into the surrounding substrate. Divers may see it cruising slowly or pausing to “scan” the area, then flashing colors as it communicates or responds to nearby movement.
