Framed Print of Mating pharaoh cuttlefish
Pharaoh cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) mating. The male at centre is protecting the egg-laying female (left) from a rival male (right). The dark stripes and raised arms are threat displays. Like all cuttlefish, it can rapidly change the colour and texture of its skin. It uses this for camouflage and communication. During mating, the male places a spermatophore, a sac containing sperm, in a pouch by the females mouth. The spermatophore then bursts, releasing sperm into the females mantle cavity, where it fertilises the eggs. The eggs are then laid individually, being fixed to hard surfaces. Photographed in the Andaman Sea, Thailand. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © GEORGETTE DOUWMA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
