Photo of Animalia: Red Cuttlefish (species: Sepia mestus) (Gaia Guide)

Red Cuttlefish (Sepia mestus). Cuttlefish have a pair of tentacles which are normally hidden away, which they use for hunting. They are specialised for snaring prey; long thin arms with suckers just at the end, which the animal shoots out with lightning speed.
