crafty cuttlefish have 4 types of hunting strategies. First is the leaf display, what it does is spread its side arms and tucks the other arms into a cone; it also turns olive green and moves gently, mimicking a drifting leaf. The second is called the branching coral and this raises its two central arms and spreads the others. It also turns orange and yellow, this is to blend in with the corals as it moves closer to its prey. The third is the passing stripe, this is where the in the mollusk darkens to gray except this one black stripe running down its back. This added motion helps hide itself as it moves closer to its prey. Lastly, there is the pulse. This is where is points it arms forward and spreads its central arms wide. Dark pulses also move simultaneously. Although scientists are unsure what this does, they assume its to hide its shape as it hunts down its prey.
