Cuttle fish can grow up to 10 fts long

[offshore1111]

Awesome. Best video I found on cuttlefish. Linked on to my post about cuttlebone in Chinese medicine (called Hai Piao Xiao) Thanks !

[sevsquad]

*GASP*

HEY MISTER 0:53 I SAW YOU TOUCH THAT CORAL! Don't you know your doing irreversible damage to its protective mucus membrane? I am quite ashamed of you right now...

[sengfar964]

its like a spliced breed between octopi and jelly fish

[Azmiam]

It's weird to watch the thing camouflage on the go.  Someone posted this video in a forum and someone replied that it was "cloaking" and now all my nerdy brain can think of is, "No ship that small has a cloaking device!" Creepy. Guess you really have to watch your step when you go wading at the beach...

[juliadeetruchsess]

Don't worry about stepping on one, they're mid-water swimmers - only the flamboyant cuttle hangs out on the bottom and they're very rare. All are harmless.

[Azmiam]

...Oh... Well, what if you're diving and you step on one in the...no, I'm stretching. Thanks for the info. I can sorta enjoy the beach now!

[kelliqawesome]

(hello there, PWoTer!)

[Alberad08]

Great upload - thanks!

[kwesi2000]

[DUBSAC]

i like the techno fish

[boreddude008]

cute =-)

[itachi388]

i love cuddle fish, and im sure that they love you to, just as much as a fat guy loves food... love the cuddle fish, LOVE IT!

[cooldude5115]

is it just the name,or are the cuttlefish the MOST cutest fish u have ever seen??? :3

[StarWarzFreak92]

They're not fish, they're mollusks.

[failednewyears]

definitely the cutest :) I'd want to keep one as a pet but they're way fragile.

[nodollarsign]

woah strobing color at 4:10!!!!!

[aprilsmartin]

Love the music......... those cuttlefish need some glo-stix and pacifiers

[dztrbk]

yummy.......

[AEFic]

at 3:16 I thought you were being attacked by a Predator or something. I was gonna say "GET TO DA CHOPPAH!!", but then I realized, predator's camo doesn't work under water...

[stimpyl]

HAHAA !!!

[Zardozthedestroyer]

**Ghost reporting....**

[thinkstrait]

The most beautiful fish ever!

[behemoleviathan]

I hate to break it to you, but that's not a fish.

It's a cephalopod.

[silleiro]

it is a pleasure to see this video. it would want darte thanks to make me happen so pleasant awhile. a warm greeting.

[marcusdbaldwin]

I saw one of these in the Flordia Keys, they are absolutely amazing. It disappeared right before my eyes.

[juliadeetruchsess]

I don't believe there are any cuttlefish in the Atlantic or Caribbean - what you saw was probably a squid.

[kryddermann]

Of course there are. I've been diving this week on Tenerife (in the Atlantic) observing many cuttlefish.

[cpeters39]

It bumped into a rock at 1:14! It's so cute!

[Brettkatze]

i'Ve seen a documentation where they said the moving stripes are to hypnotize their "food". And it's amazing... even if the fish etc. they want to catch can see the cuttlefish it doesn't swim away... it's as if it is hypnotized

[Brettkatze]

i love them so much

watching them makes me feel calm and forget all my fears :D it's similar to a drug

[blackpager]

i think they do the moving stripes to make it look like rippling water...

[Niix]

The rapid colorations are thought to be communication between cuttlefish as their eyes see polarization more than actual color.

[bearfightsninja]

this video really shows how magnifficent they are... thanks for posting.

[TenshiFuzion]

Such beautiful creatures :*D

[machineinfection]

heh, your words arent mine, but they can do some really cool stuff. :)

[KaHKaHaX]

way anasına, deli bi yaratık bu!

[narofrosto]

i think thay are so cute! i also think zoidberg from futurama is a mix of a crab and a cuttlefish!yay!

[alphonse360]

DARIUS GAIDEN!!!!!!!!!!

[AikaGranzchesta]

Sighhhh... how I adore cuttlefish... I wish I could flash blue-and-white whenever I felt like it! Awesome...

[megamarsvin]

You and me both.. Although if humans could they'd probably just abuse it :(

[rubent100]

@megamarsvin yeah humans are stupid

[wuteveritakes06]

change color damnit!

[AZgeNtBruins]

Apparently, from other videos i have watched on cuttlefish, the black and white shimmers is a technique it uses to hypnotize its prey (like crabs) to snatch them up with their tongue!

[juliadeetruchsess]

Interesting, although I doubt it thought that I was prey, so I think it must be a defensive "Warning! I'm big and strange, don't eat me!" message, too.

[narofrosto]

thats probably true! for proof check the video angry cuttlefish by brianleahy

[hunboi4ever]

OMG. what is this world where we live?:)

[yasinthok]

just a little thing of indonesia

see the other..

[gartonator]

incredible - THANKS!

I hope to see one of these from a mask someday, but until then, your badass video will suffice!

Makes one wonder... and I subscribed!

[Dimevision9]

That's a sick video, Spanks for that Julia.

If there was one fish in the world i could keep in my fish tank, it would definitely be the Cuttlefish.

[Anarchemitis]

They're pretty sweet, I gotta agree. But For some reason I think Nautiluses are cooler.

[Creaform003]

I love how they have the waves of black moving over there white bodies. INCREDIBLE!

[rstrb8r]

Do not scare our alien friends with your cameras!!

[bungkam]

Nice video

[CrazyTotoro]

Wow I knew about these animals but I never knew how fascinating they can be!

An awesome video, thanks for sharing it!

[Eleazarjr]

The Music is very mistic, special and the film is a master piece, congratulation, thanks for put this film on the internet! Eleazarjr

[minetruly]

That's AWESOME!!!

I recently learned some amazing facts about cuttlefish; Wikipedia linked to your video. I must say that this song was an AWESOME choice-- not only is it just plain more interesting to watch 4 minutes of cuttlefish to a psychadelic song, the techno goes well with its flashing patterns. I want to bring a cuttlefish to my next rave!

[DeSwiss]

Luv this video. Especially the music! Artists please?

[juliadeetruchsess]

Thank you :-) The music is "Gravity of Love (Scourge Club Mix)" by Enigma.

[DeSwiss]

Thank you so much! This is great. I'm off to Amazon to update my Wish List.

[Eleazarjr]

THANKS A LOT JULIA, WE LOVE YOU, THANKS FOR LETUS KNOW ABOUT THIS FILM AND THE WONDERFULL MUSIC, "Gravity of Love (Scourge Club Mix)" by Enigma. :-) LOVES. Eleazarjr

[legaultg]

The music is NOT Gravity of love!!

It is Age of loneliness (some remix) by Enigma

[whatarebirds]

The music completely ruins this video.

[rstrb8r]

That is why there is a volume control dude.
