Grasse hypothesizes that the behavior could have something to do with the size of the flamboyant cuttlefish’s cuttlebone, a calcium carbonate structure in the upper portion of the mantle cavity.

When Ruby Gillman dives into the ocean for the first time, she’s (and everyone around her) is shocked by her immediate transformation into a hulking tentacled monster. Growing up is tough no ...

Did you know that cuttlefish can change color, texture, and shape? Did you know they contain a bone called the cuttlebone? There is a reason why they are called the chameleons of the sea. The video ...

The cuttlebone is a hard oblong structure that spans the length of the body cavity of the cuttlefish, and made of a calcium carbonate structure microscopically infused with tiny air cells. This ...

Common cuttlefish retain sharp memories about recent meals, even in their final weeks of life, accordin to a new study published this week in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

This is an excellent time, too, to view the two cuttlefish on display during the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s free admission days through Dec. 14.

“Cuttlefish can remember what they ate, where, and when, and use this to guide their feeding decisions in the future," said co-author Alexandra Schnell of the University of Cambridge, who ...
