Cuttlefish eats octopus

Cuttlefish makes breakfast/lunch/dinner out of smaller octopus. Octopus seems to have sensed the threat for a split second when it flashes white (circa 0:24), but then returns to its vicious attack on an unsuspecting [adjustable] wrench, upon which the cuttlefish strikes.

More of a huggle than a cuddle really.

The disguise put on by the cuttlefish was definetly more impressive than that of the octopus. I've seem them do a very textural camouflage as well but he must not have been paying attention to his surroundings...

Aww.. That's sad. Tyoot wittow cuttowfish was just playing and minding his own business. Seems like he was just a baby and was playing with the wrench and learning. Then all of a sudden, big mean butt fish comes and chomps down on his head.

So tragic. Such a waste. :`(

I have no idea what "Tyoot" is supposed to be, but the cuttlefish was the one who grabbed the octopus..
