Cuttlefish skin is equipped with a panoply of cells that help the animal camouflage and communicate. Chromatophores provides browns, yellows and reds, while leucophores act like a brilliant white mirror to incoming light. Iridophores breakup incoming light as it dances over the cuttle’s skin to reveal beautiful blues, greens and purples—which kisslip cuttlefish use in their gorgeous mating displays!
