Decorisepia australis [Decorisepia australis]
Description
This cuttlefish is often seen in coastal waters, where it may glide along the seafloor or hover near structure. Divers may notice its striking, patterned camouflage—sometimes with bold flashes—followed by a smooth, controlled retreat if it feels the need to disappear.
