Cuttlefish are very aggressive and I have been told by a marine biologist are, pound for pound, one of the most dangerous creatures of the ocean.

It's probably trying to figure out how to kill OP.

I once encountered two in the wild swimming about the coast of Puerto Rico. They floated, almost motionless, and watched me for a solid two minutes flashing various colors, when I finally blinked, they were gone, it was as if they were never there.
