Description

The Flamboyant Cuttlefish are among the world's most amazing and fascinating creatures. It produces wave upon wave of bright yellow, white, chocolate brown, and vermilion neon-like flashes on its stubby body. It hunts small shrimps in the daylight, changing its external appearance to that of a silt-covered stone before striking out.

The extremely bright coloration is possibly a warning. This species could actually have a venomous bite like its more famous cousin—the blue ring octopus.
