Pfeffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish

Pfeffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish

Pfeffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi) is a colorful species of cuttlefish occurring in tropical Indo-Pacific waters. Its muscle tissue is highly toxic and as lethal as that of the Blue-ringed octopus. The flamboyant cuttlefish spends actually most of its time walking on the sea floor and is barely able to swim due to a tiny cuttlebone (internal shell filled with gas) that prevent him from floating for very long.
