They look like Sepia bandensis, which I have the pleasure of raising from eggs a couple of times. The two hardest parts of keeping them were getting them to feed on substitute foods and the when they reached old age, seeing senescence in action.

I kept them in a coral tray and they were excellent predators but nothing is cooler than when you accidently startle one and it inks. It's like a little solid fart.

They are definitely interesting. Cuttlefish only live from 1 to 2 years. Kind of depressing to know you only have such a small time with a pet. Maybe it's just me though.

I love these guys! Maybe someday I'd try some, but that'll be a while in coming.
