LOL- it got u didn't it

No, they only look like squid. Cuttlefish, squid, octopi, and the nautilus are all cephalopods, but they're almost entirely different animals.

@cuallito LOL! Actually, it wasn't trying to mate. It shot one of it's hunting tentacles out. Make note I said "hunting". Anyways, cuttlefish mate face-to-face. It was probably just very hungry, as they normally wouldn't attack a larger animal for fear of being eaten, but they probably were used to people since they've probably been in that aquarium all their lives, as some aquariums raise their own. Maybe they thought they were being fed lol it happen. They hatch from egg, like other cephalods.

I used to have an octopus that would do that to me, and she would also squirt water at me when she got to the top. They really have good eyesight and aren't afraid

They are cephalopds like a squid or an octopy but it's not the same animal.
May I ask why you were in the presence of two captured cuttlefish? Was this behind-the-scenes at your local aquarium or something?

Yeah - I interned a small aquarium, and so we took a trip behind-the-scenes at the aquarium in Boston.
