ornate_wrasse 0 Posted December 21, 2015 Can anyone identify this critter? I saw it on a dive in Indonesia. I had originally thought it was a Flamboyant Cuttlefish, but looking at the image more closely makes me think it is clearly not a flamboyant cuttllefish. So the question is, what is it? Many thanks for your help. Ellen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
