Nice.

That being said, cuttlefish do get eaten in Japan, since they're cephalopods like octupi and squid.

They just don't eat flamboyant cuttlefish because

1: their muscle tissue is extremely poisonous

2: an adult is the size of your thumbnail

3: they're adorable. They have fins/tentacles adapted to work as little legs to walk on the bottom of the ocean
