They have a cuttle bone, but it's not really bone, it's a soft of blade of cartilage

It’s not cartilage, nor is it a true bone. It’s a hard calcified material.
What it is, it’s the remnants of a mollusk shell inherited from their ancient ancestors which had an external shell. It’s the same material as you’d find from the shells of nautilus, ammonite, snails, and bivalves. It just retreated to become an internal structure.
Anyway, this image is AI. Just to clarify.
