Cuttlefish are animals of the order Sepiida, and are marine cephalopods, small relatives of squids and nautilus.
Cuttlefish (Sepiida) are in an Order of molluscs that possess an internal shell called the cuttlebone.
The cuttlebone is made of calcium carbonate and plays a dominant role in these molluscs' buoyancy; it is divided into tiny chambers in which the cuttlefish can fill or empty of gas, depending on its needs.
