African Cuttlefish [Sepia bertheloti]
Description
African cuttlefish are masters of camouflage, flashing and shifting their skin patterns as they hunt and react to divers. With their distinctive cuttlefish “W-shaped” posture and jet-propelled bursts, they may slowly glide past rocky bottoms or pause to investigate you from a few meters away.
