I wish I knew more about the behavior behind some of the pattern changes in these cuttlefish, but this particular individual was displaying some rather impressive variances in pattern - if you take a close look at its underside near the end of the video, you will see that it has changed its skin texture into two symmetrical flaps of a dark-brown color. As well, this individual was displaying some asymmetrical patterning from one eye to the other - it seems like it was displaying the pattern at the camera on purpose.

Enjoy!

Filmed at the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
