Genus
Common name: Cuttlefish
Scientific name: Sepia
Sepia is the genus of cephalopods known as cuttlefish. Members of this genus are known for their unique internal shell, the cuttlebone, and their advanced camouflage abilities. They are intelligent and can change color and texture to blend into their surroundings. Cuttlefish are carnivorous, feeding on small mollusks, fish, and other invertebrates. In the aquarium, they require a specialized setup with plenty of space and a diet of live or frozen seafood. They are not commonly kept by hobbyists due to their complex needs and relatively short lifespans.
