Greetings all.
Can anybody identify this little (roughly 10 cm) cuttlefish? It was in very shallow water at low tide near the Oman Dive Centre close to Muscat.
Apologies for the poor images (two are stills from video). There are dark and light transverse bands on the mantle and an abundance of tubercles. When we were face to face it raised two tentacles to me.
I think the large cuttlefish we see in the supermarkets here are Sepia pharaonis, but this little animal looks very different.
Grateful for your help.
