Cuttlefish are masters of disguise! They can change the color, texture, and even the pattern of their skin in a fraction of a second to blend into their surroundings, communicate with other cuttlefish, or intimidate predators. This incredible ability comes from specialized skin cells called chromatophores, iridophores, and leucophores, which reflect and absorb light in different ways.

Even more amazing? Despite their complex visual displays, cuttlefish are actually colorblind! They rely on their exceptional ability to detect polarized light to interpret their environment.
