These guys look like they don’t mess around! We have 15 dwarf cuttlefish (Sepia bandensis) on exhibit in the Splash Zone. This species is known to frequent the waters off Indonesia, Phillipines and Papua New Guinea. Ours are about six months old, and 2 1/2 inches long. 

Love cuttlefish? We have four juvenile pharaoh cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) in the Splash Zone! But you’ll need to look carefully for these masters of camouflage. Let us know if you find them when you visit!
