A close up of an Australian Giant Cuttlefish's (Ascarosepion apama) head. Its mantle is going to the left and its arms are pointing down. It has small stripes going length wise on its mantle, and small stripes going across its outer most arm. The cuttlefish has wrinkly ridges on the front and top of its head, and it has raised papillae above its eyes. It is a mix of colours: red around its eye; orange on its mantle and arms; yellow on the front of its face; blue, cyan and green on the side of its face; and green on the outer arms. It looks kind of like a rainbow.
An Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Ascarosepion apama) floating in front of a bunch of green kelp. The cuttlefish is facing towards the left. It has its papillae raised, so it is covered in ridge like wrinkles and fleshy horns above its eyes. It is a mix of colours, almost rainbow like with it being red and orange around its eye, yellow on its centre arms, green and cyan on its outer arms and blue and cyan on its mantle.
An Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Ascarosepion apama) floating above a rocky area. Its arms are drooping down, but its two centre arms are going down and upwards and out, with their tips being curled like air quotes. The cuttlefish has its papillae raised, so it has raised bits on its mantle and above its eyes. The cuttlefish mostly has a green colour, but the side of its face and the undersides of its arms are orange.
An Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Ascarosepion apama) floating a patch of sand surrounded by seaweed. Its arms are held together, but their tips are all going to the side. It has a wrinkly appearance with some papillae above its eyes and on its mantle. It head is mostly read, with the tips of its arms being orange and its outer arm being blue and green. Its mantle is purplish and its fin is mostly green with areas of red, orange and blue.
Love it when Australian Giant Cuttlefish (Ascarosepion apama) are rainbow coloured.
