Flamboyant Cuttlefish Flashing lembeh Sulewasi.

[Satansdoll]

FABULOUS

[Username50002]

that's amazing... it's actually mimicking a toxic sea worm's appearance..........

[CommanderTurner142]

He's like a tiny little flamenco dancer!!! <3

[SAGEthewisedragon]

He looks pist. lol

[N3bu14Gr4y]

Anyone else think it's trying to look like a lobster?

[edwincano5]

Amazing..

[darkmatterdoesit]

Sucks that such a cool little thing is so poisonous

[WireMan7620]

A Salvador Dali quote applies aptly to this little guy. "I'm not on drugs. I am drugs!" Sulawesi seriously has the coolest wildlife and flora. Tylomelania snails, Nepenthes eymea, Nepenthes glabrata, N. hamata, N. maxima, halfbeaks, lorikeets, Sulawesi shrimp, etc. Coolest wildlife ever!

[davidyap63]

Yep,I took it in Indonesia on one of my diving trip.Thanks for watching.

[apewaxfilms]

Fantastic footage. Did you film it yourself?

[audioel]

It's imitating a poisonous sea slug - not just the color, but also using the tentacles to imitate the slug's feelers. That is amazing.

[davidyap63]

Thank you all for watching & comments.

[microiguana]

lol I love the little blenny looking confused and hovering over it

[harveyandjosie]

Its trying to look like a poisonous nudibranch!!!!

[zubenable]

The thing I liked about this video was the font.

[laskolasko]

music doesn't match with the video at all...

[kinoboy94]

that little guys muscles are poisinus idk how u spell it man

[TheMakarone]

HEY!!!! LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE YOU FREAKS!!!!!!! :(

[Mr77tty]

if they're colour blind how are they able to register the colour of their surroundings in order to camouflage

[YourSaviour]

I love the way it walks over the seafloor ^^

[timric]

Oooooohh.... it seemed to be imitating a hermit crab..

[mar102399]

this was great and I'm studeing cuttlefish, and well all mollusk if you didn't know it was a mollusk, anyhow watch my vid, I have 2 animal vids, and I loved this so maybe you'll like mine

[heatfilter]

Can cuttlefish become sociable creatures with humans like dolphins?

[mar102399]

@heatfilter they already are, I've studied and still am studying, you see another species of cuttlefish it wont mind you it'll let you touch and follow it, also never touch a flamboyant, it's poisonous..... I love animals!!!

[TwinPower3000]

Both beautiful and adorable! I love their little chubby butts! haha! What an awesome dive experience to see one in full regalia!

[marsmannix]

looks like it's trying to imitate a lionfish, perhaps?

[minty737]

@marsmannix I'm pretty sure its imitating a commodoris nudibranch or a similar species. Looks nothing like a lionfish and cuttlefish are good at imitiation.

[mafedc]

is he trying to imitate something?

[mar102399]

@mafedc no, it's defending itself by appeareing poisunus, which it is and scaring off predators, in this case it was scared of him, the diver :)

[reasontobe999]

OMG it's a latin king, I'm so scared!

[Slowico]

Good admission. Is there with snorkels (of the water surface) to be seen possible

[davidyap63]

@Slowico I shot this during scuba at about 12meters.Very lovely creature.

[Slowico]

@davidyap63 Thank You. That is to be filmed too deeply over as Schnorchler.

[TheNickyO]

Adorable looking critter. It seems like it can make its but walk. Awesome!

[kstar12441]

i LOVE the music for this. what is it?

[davidyap63]

@kstar12441 Hi there.It's a flamboyant cuttlefish that flashes its color like neon light when defending or maybe preying I think.Amazing ain't it?

[davidyap63]

@kstar12441 Hi there.It's a flamboyant cuttlefish that flashes its color like neon light when defending or maybe preying I think.Very cute but the only species of cuttlefish which is poisonous.Amazing ain't it?

[IneedaYTaccount]

@davidyap63 I think he admires the cuttlefish well enough, but he was asking for the music xD I'm actually looking forward to the soundtrack name too ;3 Anyways, if it was in defensive (prolly is since I think they would use camouflage for preying instead of dead obvious yellow black), what would it be like if they attacked you? :o

[davidyap63]

@kstar12441 Hi,If you are asking for the music,it's called Le Beau's Hole by 3 Leg Torso,album name Astor in Paris.

[Moviesmoveme]

It's like having a wardrobe malfunction and trying to run away so it can hide and fix its costume.

[davidyap63]

@Moviesmoveme Hahaha... with that color changes so fast,I think he can fix its costume anytime faster than superman in the phone booth.Thanks for watching.

[asdfrt1231]

OMG sOOOOOOOOOOOO cute i wan to put it in my fish tank lols

[nbu007]

@"everyone": Sorry about causing confusion ;-). For a moment there, I thought that I had used a Danish expression here. But according to Wikipedia, Muzak is a "valid" english word - meaning background (or elevator) music :-).

[davidyap63]

@nbu007 well,Learn a new word today.& my,the music really bothers everyone huh?Earlier comments was to Ricky martin's something & I just simply edit & pick this later piece from youtube but hmmm....Guess my taste of picking Muzak is way out..hahaha.Anyway thanks for the comment.

[IneedaYTaccount]

@davidyap63 Don't down yourself too much. Different folks different strokes. I enjoyed the music and am wondering what the track/author of it is if you don't mind :3

[davidyap63]

@IneedaYTaccount Hi,Name of the music; Le Beau's Hole,Artis is 3 Leg Torso from Album name Astor In Paris.Actually I got it from YouTube when I did the audioswap from Ricky Martin to this.Glad you like it & thanks for watching.

[nbu007]

I'm a diver myself, and I''ve shot 1000s of photos of Cuttle Fish, Rays, Sharks as well as other creatures of the sea. I could never dream of killing or interfering with any of these marvelous animais. I know the drill "take nothing but photos - leave nothing but bubbles", and I for one is definitely diving according to these simple rules!

The only thing I want to kill, I this terrible background music ;-)

[nbu007]

Amazing little fella! Did you know, that in addition to being poisonous, it actually cannot swim? It can only skip around the sea bed as seen on the video. I agree with others, please kill this annoying muzak :-)

[davidyap63]

@nbu007 Hi,I understand it's poisonous & thanks for your comment.But these creatures will use it for defending & surviving in their natural habitat.We don't kill it just because of their natural characteristic for survival & to live.We have to be careful but also must be fully aware that we are the one who is intruding into their space.Thanks.

[starfourfivesix]

@davidyap63 Muzak = music. I know, I didn't get it at first either.

[davidyap63]

@starfourfivesix Hi,Thanks.Got it now.

[davidyap63]

@nbu007 sorry I misunderstood your comment.Happy diving...

[sangheilisniper]

Flamboyant Cuttlefish are the only venomous cuttlefish. 

[Cheesezinga]

pretty :)

[davidyap63]

Thank you for your comment.The undersea world is just awsome.

[forevereon]

cool! this things are awsome!

[dvkillz1]

whats with that subliminal flash at like 22-23 secs?

[davidyap63]

@dvkillz1 Hi,that was camera flash from someone beside me.Thanks.

[davidyap63]

@dvkillz1 Hi,that was camera flash from someone beside me.Thanks.

[edlitz36]

Isn't the fish amazing enough in itself? Does it really need that horrible music in the background?

[Yeebok]

Thanks - I dig cuttlefish and squid, so I watched the entire video :)

[Yeebok]

The music is really awful.. Video's good but I dislike the music more than I like the video..

[davidyap63]

@Yeebok well,I respect your opinion.Thanks for watching.

[bradleyrhys]

@Yeebok heres a pretty out there way of fixing your problem, it may be a bit dramatic, maybe even unorthodox, but try it and it just may work. turn your volume down. this isnt a music video, its about a flamboyant cuttlefish, the music happens to be flamboyant aswell, so it fits quite nicely. stupid troll

[mar102399]

@bradleyrhys agreed my friend :)

[TheSixthQueen]

@Yeebok Put it on mute then.

[MorroccoSurrogate]

The Liberace of the ocean.

[jevansturner]

That's awesome how it can make chasing bands of color!

[ScheduledChaosTheory]

wow, those cuttlefish must be pretty upset to look and act like that

[THEjackel4545]

the crab mimicry is awesome

[jollyrogerwilco]

I think that cuttlefish just wore me out -- just like the song said.

[crashtv]

Ricky Martin??? Talk about belittling an amazing natural phenomena... Nice to see though.

[djdcm0722]

really?... really?... did you really have to put the video to Ricky Martin?

[and1dodger]

there tiny .i can squash them with my pinky

[Tejnin]

Pfeffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish. (Metasepia pfefferi) I love them so much. They are poisonous (one of only three cephalapods) and are as toxic as the blue ring octopus. I wish they wernt so difficult to take care of. I want one very badly.

[davidyap63]

Glad you like it & many thanks for providing the identification.There are so many amazing living creature in the sea.I would say the more enjoyable & harmless way to appreciate them is at their natural habitat.

[hauptsachelaut]

amazing these moving stripes. where is that and what species is it?

[davidyap63]

Not sure the species name.I took this footage in Manado,Indonesia.If you are interested in more marine creature,feel free to visit my other video.Thanks.
