The Flamboyant Cuttlefish

This is the aptly named flamboyant cuttlefish.

He grows to about 8cm in length, lives off the northern coast of Australia, and like all cuttlefish, he has 8 arms and 2 tentacles.

Unlike other cuttlefish, this cute little fucker strolls along the ocean floor on two of his arms and two rudimentary fin-legs.

Cos when you're this fabulous you gotta strut.

Also, when one of the arms is a penis. So in total he has 8 arms, 4 legs, 2 fins, 2 tentacles, and an armdick.

Like many cephalopods it can change both the colour and texture of it's skin at will. Unlike its octopodean cousins, it typically uses these abilities to make displays rather than camouflage.

Even though this little guy is as tiny as any octopus.

This guy likes to stand out because he doesn't give a single shit. Flamboyant cuttlefish were recently found to be the only known variety of poisonous cuttlefish. And they're REALLY poisonous. If you wanna try and eat him he'll fuck you right the fuck back.

He's an adorable little predator who launches his tentacles at prey to ensnare them with his suckers.

All Hail His Glorious Undulations!

I hope you enjoyed this, if people are interested I may post some more simple cephalopod bios and stories.
