Thank you all for your comments and observations, especially Greg. I checked the website and it looks like I will make a few returns to learn more about Cephalopods. Some years back I taught a summer class in marine biology and I've got a lot to relearn! I encourage anyone who is intrigued to the image of the Cuttlefish to point your browser to www.dal.ca/~ceph/TCP/index.html - Mister Ken

I find Cephalopods to be incredible creatures. Here in Boston I've watched the small squid tank at our aquaruim for hours. The chromataphores that change their skin fascinate me and that they use this as their means of communication is remarkable.
Most of my experience, however, is with Carribean reef squid, the most social (perhaps only social) Cephalopod. I have watched them communicate off reefs and I know from research that when they display a zebra pattern it is a mating sign.
I believe that is also the case with the Cuttlefish above. Of course, animals do strange things in captivity so who knows what is on his mind.
You can learn more about Cuttlefish here:
