Flamboyant cuttlefish are known for their vibrant colors and hypnotic flashing patterns. When threatened, they remain still and flash their colors to confuse attackers. Sometimes letting your light glow is all you need in life. #funfacts | Deepseavegan

The flamboyant cuttlefish inhabits tropical waters off northern Australia. Females are much larger than males, and the species is known for its peculiar way of mating: face-to-face, the female allows the male to insert a tentacle holding a sperm packet into her mantle. After fertilising her eggs with the sperm, she lays them one by one in hidden spots, then leaves and dies a little while later. Her tiny offspring, when they hatch, must fend for themselves.

The flamboyant cuttlefish can flash vibrant colors to scare predators and uses its toxin-filled flesh as a defense mechanism—rarely seen by divers!
