Cuttlefish & Sepiolas [Sepiida]

Description

Cuttlefish and sepiolas are famous for their ability to rapidly change color and pattern using specialized skin cells. Underwater, divers may see them hovering with controlled movements, flashing bold signals, or using camouflage to disappear into the background—sometimes with a dramatic jetting escape.
