Giant Australian cuttlefish are now hatching across the Cuttlefish Coast Sanctuary Zone in South Australia’s Upper Spencer Gulf Marine Park. This follows a strong breeding season, with an estimated 64,000 cuttlefish gathering to spawn along this rocky reef habitat. To mitigate the risk from the harmful algal bloom, the State and Federal governments installed a bubble curtain to protect more than 50,000 eggs - a precaution that hasn’t needed to be activated. Over the next few weeks, most eggs wit

Cuttlefish love🦑❤️ Giant cuttlefish, which regularly change their shape and texture to camouflage themselves with underwater objects, congregate annually along a 10-kilometre stretch of the Upper Spencer Gulf Marine Park in South Australia. Fun fact: Mating takes place with the cuttlefish linking their eight arms and two tentacles for head-to-head contact, with the males slipping their sperm packages into the female's mouth and fertilising her eggs. This great footage was taken by @rosie.freedi

Mating season for the Australian giant cuttlefish is not a simple affair. This annual winter event, called "Cuttlefest," involves heartbreak, love triangles, and incredible physical transformations as the males try to impress the females. Travel journalist Stephanie Vermillion witnessed these cephalopod dramatics up close while diving, but glass-bottomed boats are also available for visitors who want to stay warm and dry while catching the invertebrate lovefest.

Terence Tong on Instagram: "One of my favourite Australian Giant Cuttlefish captures during this year’s mating season. I approached this large male slowly, when it suddenly changed its colour and flaunted its tentacles outwards. I thought it was putting on a show for me but I quickly realized it was for another smaller male that had appeared between the rocks in the vicinity. An incredible display to witness!
