Cuttlefish are masters of disguise. They can change their body shape, color and texture using special cells — an ability that helps them sneak up on prey unnoticed. But how they use this shape-shifting skill for hunting is not fully understood. Now, scientists have recorded footage of 98 wild cuttlefish of the genus Sepia in shallow Indonesia reefs, identifying at least four distinct camouflage strategies. -The “leaf” display, where they stretch out their arms and wobble around, looking like a harmless drifting leaf. -The “passing stripe”, where they turn gray and make a downward moving dark stripe across their bodies, a form of motion camouflage. -The “branching coral” display, where they make their arms wavy and kinked, making the central ones look like branches and stretching out their lateral arms. This camouflage allows them to blend seamlessly into staghorn corals. -And the “pulse” display. Two pairs of arms point forward in a tight cone, while the others are angled upward. Their bodies turn gray, with dark pulses moving from the center to the tips of the raised arms. Scientists are unsure exactly how this trick works. Interestingly, cuttlefish don’t stick to just one technique. Most use two or three, and their approach varies by sex—with females favoring the leaf display.
