Chromophores.
What color is the ink a cuttlefish sprays?
Cuttlefish produce a brownish-colored ink called sepia. Cuttlefish ink was in fact where sepia first came from. The Latin name of the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, reflects this fact.
What type of fish is a cuttlefish?
A cuttlefish is not a fish at all but a marine invertebrate. Cuttlefish are molluscs in the class cephalopoda along with octopi and squid. Molluscs also include bivalves (clams, oysters and mussels) and gastropods (snails and slugs).
What have scientists learned about cuttlefish through observation?
Cuttlefish are cephalopods. One of the things that scientists have learned about the cuttlefish through observation is that cuttlefish have the ability to change their appearance so that they blend in with their immediate environment, much like a camouflage.

What do cuttlefish look like?
Cuttlefish are cephalopods, a class found within the phylum Mollusca. Like other cephalopods, they have bilateral symmetry, a prominent head, and their "foot" has been modified into a number of arms and tentacles. They have internalized the shell found in most mollusks, and it is referred to as the cuttlebone. Cuttlefish have no backbone; they are invertebrates, and so, despite their misleading name, they are not true fish. Protruding from around their mouths, they have eight arms and two tentacles with which they catch their prey. One of the most remarkable aspects of cuttlefish, though, is their advanced camouflaging abilities. Cuttlefish have very complex eyes, with W-shaped pupils that can see the polarization of light and in 3-D; they are, however, colorblind. Despite this, on natural substrates, cuttlefish can change color in mere seconds to blend in so well against their background that they are hardly visible. This camouflage is done by means of a vast number of small neuromuscular organs called chromatophores that expand and contract to change the color of the cuttlefish' skin. Even after the cuttlefish has died, the chromatophores may continue to cause color-change, in a distinctive post-mortem pattern known as Wolkenwandern, or "wandering clouds". There are also some other types of cells that add to the variety of colors cuttlefish can display. Cuttlefish's sides have been likened to a tv screen, so adept are they at changing colors quickly and smoothly, and in fact, some tv screens have been developed using a technology based on cuttlefish's color-changing abilities.
Is cuddler fish a fish?
There is no specific fish called a "cuddler fish." It is possible that you are referring to the cuttlefish, which is a marine animal closely related to squids and octopuses. Cuttlefish are known for their unique ability to change color and camouflage themselves in their environment.
