Flamboyant cuttlefish, Lembeh Strait, Sulawesi, Indonesia.

---

Flamboyant cuttlefish are one of the most beautiful cephalopods, with beautiful markings and colors. They are typically found crawling across rubble and sand and are capable of changing the texture and color of their skin to match their surroundings. They feed on small shrimps and fish by rapidly striking out with a pair of feeing tentacles. The Lembeh Strait in N Sulawesi is famous for its unusually high marine biodiversity, particularly of unusual animals that live on the exposed sand areas.
