Most likely Sepia bandensis. They do best in 'refugium-style' tanks with tons of live amphlipods and mysids.

Sat at Scripps the other day and talked with a guy who works there in a Lab. Said he was getting water for his Cuttlefish tank which he changes the water weekly as they get a bit messy. Said they were eating live sardines and it was quite a show. Tried to get him to send us a video to post.

What do they eat? Probably everything they can find that is alive!

Gotta stop by and see those! You need to keep one thru hatching!
