How Does the Cuttlefish Catch its Prey The Cuttlefish Camouflages itself Very Well, and Squirts Out Black Ink to Confuse Its Prey. When the Cuttlefish Spots its Prey, It SHoots out its Arms and Grabs its Prey. The Prey Gets Stuck to Pads and the Cuttlefish is Able to Grab it with the Remaining Arms.
Actually, the way cuttlefish catch their prey is pretty amazing. They are very unique creatures that use their incredible camouflage to basically stun their prey. All over the cuttlefish, their little skin pigments change, rapidly, I might add. Bright colors, too. This makes the crabs, little fish or whatever the cuttlefish is stalking, stop. Literally, cuttlefish hypnotize their prey. Then as soon as they prey stops moving, watching the cuttlefish's skin, their retractable tongue shoots out and snatches the prey, dragging it into it's mouth so fast that the animal has no time to react or defend itself. When the cuttlefish's tongue leaves its mouth, the skin returns to normal pigment, but the way the tongue moves is so fast, the other animal has no time to react. Amazing animals. :)
And Cuttlefish really never use their arms to catch prey. They use them to move and help with the process of stunning the prey by exposing as much of the colorful lighting of the skin as possible. And I don't think that they have ink, but I'm not sure...
cuttlefish can use there clever colour changing ability to hipnotize its prey by flashing its shimmery shades and stunning its victim until it shoots out two long arms to snatch it and eat it with a parrot like beak.

Apart from sharks, monkfish and swordfish, the cuttlefish has another huge predator - the human. Cuttlefish are used in food preparations, aquariums, and also bred for their ink and cuttlebone.

Cuttlefish are voracious predators that are thought to be able to work in groups to hunt. They feed on fish, mollusks and arthropods. Phytoplankton is not all that hard to hunt. You just need something to filter it out.
They use their 8 arms and 2 tentacles to capture food.
