cuttlefish awaiting identification* Family Sepiidae updated Oct 08 Where seen? This large almost glittering animal was seen once in numbers on Chek Jawa near the coral rubble area. Features: 10-12cm long. It has an iridescent line along the edge where the fins join the body. Those on our shores make a croaking sound when they are alarmed. The Malays call them 'sotong katak' or 'frog cuttlefish' probably because of this habit. |
