Does anyone know anything about cuttlefish in the home aquarium. They look real cool but im guessing they arent good for a reef tank? :notsure:

Usually they only live to 12 months in the wild. If you get a breeding population it's possible to propogate them so that you always have several.
Most are temperate species so be sure you get tropical species.

Agreed. Always one of my favorites to see on dive trips.
