Metasepia pfefferi, or the Flamboyant Cuttlefish, is one cool little cephalopod. It usually dresses in drab browns, but when threatened, it lights up like a carnival. Not only does it sport a cool color scheme, it also has a poisonous bite (probably related to color, right?), AND it sort of walks along the muddy bottoms of the Indo-Pacific using its fourth arms. And they're tiny, rarely exceeding 3 inches. CUTENESS

I hope someone gave them shit for it. It was while they were talking about that proton smasher machine which *surprise* didn't send us all into armageddon.
I suppose I aught to mention how damnably cute the cuddlefish is ^_^ I loooooove the texture created with the salt. At least I am assuming it was salt.

Great painting.
Cephalopods = Instant Win. ^^
I thought the only cethlopod with a venemous bite was the Blue Ringed Octopus.
Beautiful rendition of this cool little critter. Love your texture work.
just mimicking the ocean floor.
