📸 Through Your Lens "Australian giant cuttlefish have special skin cells called chromatophores that allow them to change colour!" says David Phan of this brilliant footage he captured while diving in Cabbage Tree Bay, Sydney. These colourful displays let cuttlefish communicate with each other, and during the winter mating season, males will often put on spectacular displays such as this when fighting over females. 🎥 David Phan #ausgeo #seeaustralia #underwater #aussiewildlife #sealife #cuttlef

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

This majestic creature is a giant cuttlefish (sepia apama) - lovingly dubbed the 'chameleon of the sea'. Using cells known as chromatophores, giant cuttlefish put on spectacular displays, changing colour instantly and raising parts of its skin to change shape and texture to imitate rock, sand or seaweed. 🎥 David Phan #ausgeo #australia #seeaustralia #cuttlefish #underwater #fish #sealife #ocean #beach #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #scuba #reef #diving | Australian Geographic

The flamboyant cuttlefish uses specialized chromatophores to rapidly shift its skin color and texture in a stunning display of dynamic camouflage and communication — a process that, paired with its rhythmic movement, resembles a biological dance synced to the ocean’s pulse. #oceanreality #cephalopodscience #flamboyantcuttlefish #neurobiologyofcolor #oceanintelligence | Ocean Reality Channel

Meet an animal that is a master at color shifting. This is the flamboyant cuttlefish. It uses cells called chromatophores to display vibrant patterns (brown, black, yellow, white). These striking colors and patterns allow it to camouflage itself, attract mates, or warn potential predators. See them in Spineless! | New York Aquarium

🎶 I like to be, under the sea. In a cuttlefish’s garden in the shade 🎶 Ever seen a cuttlefish’s rippling chromatophores in action? These pigment-containing and light reflecting cells are what help cuttlefish, squid and octopus camouflage and signal to others. Pretty cool, huh?

Chromatophores firing on this squid. What are chromatophores? Chromatophores are organs that are present in the skin of many #cephalopods, such as #squids, #cuttlefish, and #octopuses, which contain pigment sacs that become more visible as small radial muscles pull the sac open making the pigment expand under the skin. Electrical activity within a #chromatophore nerve causes the radial muscle fibers of the chromatophore to pull outward toward the perimeter of the chromatophore, expanding the cen

Samuel Schroeter on Instagram: "cuttlefish are renowned for their ability to change color, pattern, and skin texture almost instantly, often within milliseconds. They use specialized skin cells called chromatophores (pigment sacs), along with iridophores and leucophores (light reflectors), to blend into surroundings, communicate, and display courtship patterns. The mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) is a master of disguise in the Indo-Pacific that changes its body style, color, and behavior to
