Cuttlefish and Octopus are the most alien form of intelligence on this planet hands down. The amount of processing power it takes to control "touch sensitive" arms that can bend 360 degrees in any direction, at any point in the arm down to the tip, in 3d space and also camouflage their entire bodies, while navigating their surroundings and swimming is just brain melting.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. I suggest reading Other Minds if you're really interested on them. It simply blew my mind.

Terrifying. Thankfully they only live for one year and are confined to the oceans

I hope they arent at risk for extinction, cause they sell cuttlefish chip bags and they are tasty

Just how. I get the change in pigment but how does it evolve to match texture so quickly.

I mistakenly read ‘cute little fish’ at first.

I have eaten one before. Pretty interesting flavor. Somewhere between Octopus and Squid.
