The Broadclub Cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) is the second largest cuttlefish species and can reach a length of up to 50 cm. They can be found in the Indo-Pacific and also in the waters around Romblon Island. The most interesting behavior is the flashing of different shades of color when hunting. This might mesmerize their prey and is an amazing behavior to witness.
