Sokotra Cuttlefish [Sepia sokotriensis]
Description
Sokotra cuttlefish are typically encountered in clearer, reef-adjacent habitats where they can use their skin patterns to match the seafloor. With a calm, curious demeanor, they may slowly approach, then flash darker or lighter tones when they feel the need to retreat.
