Elucidating cuttlefish camouflage

Cuttlefish camouflage: more than meets the eye

Did you know… . . Cuttlefish change color through specialized cells called chromatophores in their skin. These cells contain pigment sacs and are controlled by muscles and nerves. By expanding or contracting these chromatophores, cuttlefish can adjust the amount of pigment visible on their skin, creating a wide range of colors and patterns. This ability enables cuttlefish to camouflage themselves, communicate with each other, and evade predators rapidly and effectively. . . #padi #paditravel #pa
