Broadclub cuttlefish mating

Broadclub cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) mating. After mating, the female lays numerous eggs in individual egg cases, attached to plants, rocks or corals. Cuttlefish can rapidly change the colour of their skin by dilating or contracting pigment cells called chromatophores. This cuttlefish preys largely on crustaceans, which it catches with a quick strike with its two tentacles (not seen). These are usually kept hidden amongst its eight arms. This cuttlefish is found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. It may reach a length of around 45 centimetres. Photographed off Indonesia

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the underwater world, showcasing the intimate act of Broadclub cuttlefish mating. The male and female Broadclub cuttlefish are entwined in an intricate dance, their bodies gracefully intertwined as they engage in this crucial reproductive ritual. After this enchanting encounter, the female will proceed to lay numerous eggs inside individual egg cases. These precious capsules will be carefully attached to plants, rocks, or corals within their marine habitat. It is fascinating to note that these remarkable creatures possess the ability to rapidly change the color of their skin by manipulating pigment cells known as chromatophores. The Broadclub cuttlefish primarily feeds on crustaceans which it swiftly catches with its two tentacles (not visible in this image). These tentacles are usually concealed amongst its eight arms, allowing for stealthy hunting maneuvers. This particular species can be found thriving in the tropical Indo-Pacific region and can grow up to approximately 45 centimeters long. Photographed off Indonesia's coast, this image showcases not only nature's beauty but also highlights the significance of reproduction and survival within marine ecosystems. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured here serve as a testament to both the diversity and wonder that exists beneath our oceans' surface.
