The Cuttlefish, Sepia sp., is a unique marine organism that requires unique tank specifications and care. Cuttlefish need a large tank of at least 200 gallons with plenty of space to swim. They require live food and steady tank specifications such as low nitrate levels, escape proof filtration and lids, and lots of enrichment to keep them busy.
They will prey on any live invertebrates and fish in the tank so they do well in species only tanks. They will not actively target corals although they may knock them over so mature colonies are recommended if you want to keep them together.

Cuttlefish, I have kept these amazing animals for quite some time. So from my experience here we go Not for beginner's, keep in reef, or alone, water parameters need to be top notch. (I use water from the atlantic ocean). High oxygen content. Just be aware the ones I just received were tiny. Size of a small pea. They are in a plastic holding tank inside one of my mail tanks. Feed brine and mysis shrimp. Growing nicely. Adult can and will kill tank mates these are amazing animals.
