Cuttlefish are carnivorous marine animals that primarily feed on crustaceans, small fish, and mollusks. They occupy a role as both predators and prey in the food chain, hunting smaller organisms while being vulnerable to larger predators such as sharks, larger fish, and seabirds. Their ability to camouflage and use ink for defense helps them evade these threats. Overall, cuttlefish play a significant role in maintaining the balance of their marine ecosystems.

What is the cuttlefish food chain?

I have had the same issue with finding out this on a school project and through hard time i have come up with an education guess. (the food web of said cuttlefish will change from species to species). The average cuttlefish is either eaten by sharks, or bigger fish, however, if you are looking at Pfeffer's Flamboyant Cuttlefish it's main predator would be a human, the way that they are so small, walk along the sea floor as opposed to swimming, and how it can change the pigment of it's skin many people would like to take it and show them off at many aquarium. but i could also see larger octopus eating them, not saying they will feel to well afterwards. i hope this help a little, i have not researched any other cuttlefish.
