Giant African Cuttlefish [Sepia hierredda]
Description
Divers may spot this cuttlefish cruising along sandy or rocky bottoms, often pausing to hover with its arms spread like a fan. When it feels observed, it can rapidly change color and pattern—turning mottled browns, creams, and darker bands into a highly detailed display.
