Mourning Cuttlefish (Sepia plangon)
There are three types of Cuttlefish in Sydney, and this is the most common: The Mourning Cuttlefish. The skin of a cuttlefish is covered with tiny coloured cells that can be individually adjusted to create just about any colour in the spectrum. It acts just like a thought-controlled TV screen. And this amazing ability is just one of the cuttlefish’s superpowers.
Cuttlefish can also change their shape to match their surroundings - when it is over weed it looks like weed and when its over sand... I think you can guess. A truly incredible animal. I saw this specimen at the Sydney Aquarium in Darling Harbour.
