Family
Common name: Cuttlefish
Scientific name: Sepiidae
The family Sepiidae encompasses the marine mollusks commonly known as cuttlefish. Members of this family are known for their unique internal shell, the cuttlebone, which is used for buoyancy control. Cuttlefish possess an advanced ability to change color and texture, allowing them to communicate and camouflage effectively. They are intelligent and can be trained to solve simple problems. In the aquarium, cuttlefish require specialized care, including a diet of live or frozen foods like shrimp and fish, and a well-maintained environment with stable water parameters.
