flamboyant

I've always loved marine creatures and art, so here's my combination of the two :) Octopus bimaculoides Octopus chierchiae Metasepia pfefferi Sepioloidea lineolata

Long story short a small flamboyant cuttlefish has come into my possession. I am hoping I'm ready for this though I'm not sure if I'd ever feel as if I'm ready until I just start working on the hands on side. I've researched a ton on them. (One of those moments of odd twist of luck) As well as...

Throwing out the question if anyone has a good source or tip on if you can determine gender on Flamboyant cuttlefish. Thanks!

Hi I was supposed to get 2 cuttlefish but one was back ordered. I received the second one a week later but I am seeing some odd behavior towards the new one. I had 2 of them about a year ago that were fine together for almost a year but I put them in together. Here is a video of behavior. Is...

Hello Everyone, its been a LONG time since Ive posted here! I hope all has been well. I took a long break from all aquarium related forums since I started my own aquarium design business in 2008. However, I recently got back into the cephalopod bug with a group of 6 flamboyants. Im not sure if...

Hi all, Been a member of UR for a long time, now have a big reef and a cuttle tank. 3 adult flamboyants with now over 50 eggs and 1 hatchling. Joined the forum to ask for any advice on rearing babies and to see if anyone wanted some babies (i cannot keep 50 no matter how much i want to spend...

Hi i have had about five octos over the last 6 years now i am trying flamboyant cuttles. They are about 1 1/2 inches each. Both have eaten spirulina feed ghost shrimp 2 each today and 1 each the first day i got them. How much do you feed them? What about lighting i have a LED light that has a...

I was at the Monterey Bay Aquarium a few Years ago, I sadly didn't get to see any of the deep sea cephalopods they have had in the tentacles exhibit. However I was able to film both Sepia bandensis and Metasepia pfefferi feeding, on a saltwater livebearer and shrimp respectively. I also did get...

Hey guys! I have been working on an aquarium app recently and made a video yesterday about Flamboyant Cuttlefish for my Facebook page. I'm really happy about how it turned out, and I thought you guys would appreciate it too. Here's the video: Feel free to check out my page too. Let me know...

Hello all, I am new to TONMO and I am excited that I found somewhere where I can exchange ideas and gain feedback from those who are very experienced with cephalopods. A little about my background: I care professionally for a Giant Pacific Octopus, Chambered Nautilus and Flamboyant Cuttlefish...

Hi all, I was reading the 29:7/2014 issue of Ocean Geographic, and came upon an article about diving Lembeh Strait where the author describes the flamboyant cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi) as follows: "They have eight legs and two hectocotylus tentacles, which are twice as long and these are...

Sometimes I help out a friend of mine who works at a wholesaler when he gets shipments in, and last week he got in a flamboyant cuttlefish. The videos are kind of boring (he didn't eat the shrimp), but it is kind of cool to see it move. Unfortuantely when they came in the next morning he was...

I am relatively new to cephalopod's, just raised a few S. Bandesis from eggs and they are doing well. In the middle of raising them I got the chance to purchase a Metasepia sp. (Flamboyant Cuttle). Needless to say she is the most amazing animal I ever cared for! She even started laying eggs but...

So today I went to the Steinhart aquarium and I was happy to see you guys had a flam exhibit. I probably scanned that tank several times for about an hour and I saw no movement in the tank. So my question to you is: is there even a flam in the tank. I was disappointed because that was the main...

Dear all, I would like to ask some rather detailed questions regarding flamboyants. Maybe those with more experience can contribute their observations/experiences with this wonderful species? 1) Does lower temperature lead to better egg viability? I read once on the internet that a diver...

Hi all, about a month ago, i happen to chance upon some flamboyant cuttlefish at my lfs! I was so excited that i converted my exististing tank to a species tank for it within a week. Bought myself a chiller, check the parameters and all is good to go. So i went down to the lfs and gotten myself...
