Came across this cute little cuttlefish hiding in a Halophila ovalis seagrass pool after an early morning Team Seagrass monitoring survey with the visiting students & profs from Duke University.

Around the 31sec mark, the cuttlefish sticks one of it's tentacles down and starts to stir up the sediment....perhaps to create a sediment screen? Hmmm.....a bit camera shy?
