Flambouyant Cuttlefish (Metasepia pfefferi) is the Holy Grail for many macro-loving divers. It's a truly special species of cephalapod that is extremely hard to find but wonderful when found. It's found around Asutralia and the Coral Triangle. Its small size and wonderful colouration make it special, as well as being so rare.
