Description

            Cuttlefish embryos develop within the protective environment of the egg capsule or cuttlebone. They are typically small and translucent, resembling miniature versions of adult cuttlefish. As they develop, they go through various stages, and the fully developed embryos hatch from the egg capsule as juvenile cuttlefish. Cuttlefish embryos are remarkable for their intricate development and the eventual transformation into skilled predators of the ocean.

IUCN Status: Least Concern.
