Giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama) are some of the Earth’s most clever and colourful creatures - but did you know they can’t see their own beauty? Cuttlefish are colour-blind, however, they still have spectacular seeing abilities with ‘w’-shaped pupils that are thought to allow them to see both behind and in front at the same time. 🎥 Terence Tong #ausgeo #ocean #australia #wildlifeofaustralia #cuttlefish #marine #scuba #diving #nature #naturelovers #oceanconservation | Australian Geographic

Cuttlefish light show. ✨️ When it comes to changing one's skin color, the cuttlefish outshines even the chameleon. In the blink of an eye, they can switch from camouflage to a dazzling light display. This light display is their way of communicating, saying "Hey girl, come over here" in an attempt to impress the females or "Back away, you're too close" to deter rivals or threats. Michael Holliday (IG: thedivingholliday) filmed this incredible encounter whilst on a Minke Whale Trip with Pro Dive C

The gangster of the mucky underwater world..the amazing Flamboyant Cuttlefish! Flashing its purple, yellow gang signs, it is quite intimidating despite its small size. This one was about 3 inches. It spends its time dragging the sandy bottom looking for a meal. This was just after capturing a clear shrimp. If you look close you can see the shrimp in its mouth.
