Cuttlefish aren't technically fish!

 

Cuttlefish are a class of Cephalopods within the phylum Mollusca. They are an ancient species that are highly abundant in the ocean. Cuttlefish are not the only cephalopod that inhabits our seas - squid, nautiluses, and even fossilized ammonites are considered to be in the same phylum. However, cephalopods are in a different class than mollusks, because of their “ring of arms” (hyperlink) surrounding their mouths. 

 

Cuttlefish are known for their brilliant colors and witty camouflage that could even trick the human eye. Even though they can’t see color, they can perfectly blend in with the textures and colors surrounding them, making them one of the most unique and colorful marine species.
