Description

Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses. 'Cuttle' is a reference to their unique internal shell

Cuttlefish is neither a fish nor is it very cuddly. It is a relative of the squid and octopus this is beloved in the Mediterranean and in Southeast Asia.

The reason for this is because the muscles of cuttlefish, squid and octopus are very dense, with enormous amounts of connective tissue *- remember they have no bones and can move in all directions, meaning these critters need extremely fine motor control of those little arms.
