Cuttlefish, like their cousin the octopus, have eight arms. Cuttlefish differ however in that they have in internal calcareous "shell" that is porous; they use this for buoyancy control in order to hover level. Their movement is largely controlled by fluttering fins along the side of their body. They also have two specialised tentacles; they can shoot them out to grasp their prey.

The red cuttle is not always red - this series of shots shows the one individual as it changes colour from dark red to lighter mauve. This is one of three cuttle species in Australia; the yellow lining around the eye is diagnostic of the species.Camera settings including strobe are identical for all three shots.

Cuttlefish swim and hover using their fluttering side fins, but when they need to make a quick escape they use a water jet below their bodies - you can see these two fighter planes in the photo as they make a quick escape!
