TEMPERATE - SEE DESCRIPTION - Common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis).
Cuttlefish are best kept in a species tank. They require excellent water quality, heavy feeding (sometimes they may only eat live food), all pump intakes must be guarded with fine grills or sponges.

SIZE
Various sizes available from time to time. This species grows rapidly to 20”. In old age they reach a phase called “Senescence”. Once your cuttlefish reaches this stage of their life then to avoid suffering we recommend considering euthanasia.

COMPATIBILITY
Usually kept as the sole inhabitant of an aquarium. Will attack, kill, or, eat, almost all possible tankmates. This species is a powerful and aggressive predator. The large powerful tentacles and crushing beak can inflict a nasty wound on the unwary aquarist. Care must be taken when handling this species.
