Field Notes

Description:

Small Cuttlefish/Sepia around 10 cm in size, sometimes confused as juveniles of other larger Cuttlefish. This was a pair in courting, mating and hunting and laying eggs. It is always very nice to see them in such behaviour in combination if you spend a lot of time with them.
Pic#1 shows one hunting, by extending its tongue-lie proboscis which has a sticky tip, which they used to capture shrimps and crabs. Pic#2 shows the pair, of which one of it was hunting. Pic#3 shows their ability to change their form and textures from smooth to with appendages on the body.

Habitat:

Tropical reef
