The Broadclub Cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) is commonly found throughout the waters of the Indo-Pacific. It is found in warmer northern waters of Australia and along the entire Great Barrier Reef. It can generally be seen on coral reefs where it will hide in caves and crevices to keep away from any predators. It has been recorded in waters as deep as 30 metres. Its common name is derived from its large flat tentacular clubs. Females lay eggs that are about the size of ping-pong balls and they push these eggs into gaps in staghorn corals where they eventually harden and become impossible to move. The males will often guard the female when she lays the eggs and well of any other males that approach. The Broadclub Cuttlefish has a maximum mantle length of approximately 40cm and can weigh up to 5 kilograms.
