About Cuttlefish
Wikipedia Article About Cuttlefish on Wikipedia

Cuttlefish are animals of the order Sepiida, and are marine cephalopods, small relatives of squids and nautilus.

Cuttlefish have an internal shell, large eyes, and eight arms and two tentacles furnished with denticulated suckers, by means of which it secures its prey.

Cuttlefish possess an internal structure called the cuttlebone, which is composed of calcium carbonate and is porous to provide the cuttlefish with buoyancy. Buoyancy can be regulated — the cuttlefish can even decide to sink — by changing the gas-to-liquid ratio in the chambered cuttlebone. Each species has a distinct shape, size, and pattern of ridges or texture on the "bone". Cuttlebones are traditionally used by jewellers and silversmiths as moulds for casting small objects. They are probably better known today as the tough material given to parakeets and other cage birds as a bill-sharpener and source of dietary calcium.
