Info Common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. The common cuttlefish is one of the largest and best-known cuttlefish species. They are a migratory species that spend the summer and spring inshore for spawning and then move to depths of 100 to 200m during autumn and winter. They only have a lifespan of 1–2 years and have many predators including sharks, dolphins, seals, fish, and cephalopods which includes other cuttlefish. During the day, most cuttlefish can be found buried below the substrate and fairly inactive. At night however, they are actively searching for prey and can ambush them from under the substrate. Cuttlefish are carnivorous and eat a variety of organisms including crustaceans (crabs and shrimp), small fish, molluscs (clams and snails), and sometimes other cuttlefish.

Support Does the cuttlefish have its eyes closed and do you think it's asleep? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:53, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ikan Kekek It wasn't asleep, as it was moving around looking for prey. If they sleep they would lay on a surface, not just float around. I think that the eyes look always the same way independently of whether they sleep or not, but I haven't seen myself any cuttlefish sleeping. ~~In fact this is the only one cuttlefish I've ever seen.~~ sorry, that was wrong I saw another one, a small one, which I forgot, in St Elmo Bay, Malta, 2 weeks ago and one today near the Cape of Espichel in Portugal Poco a poco (talk) 19:02, 7 September 2021 (UTC) They are rare in the areas where I've dived.
