It is neither fish nor fowl !
But a mollusk somehow !
Without a shell outside
Only a cuttle bone inside
It has a variety of colours inside
But is colour blind in sight
It is sensitive to polarized light
And can discriminate things outside
It is called “Chameleon of the sea” by far
But is really Chameleon’s ‘ Grandmother ’!
for it has a much larger repository of colour
and can change patterns much much faster

Not only that it can change quickly
skin’s texture and reflectlight as well
forming multiple combinations, sufficient
to confuse, confound and hypnotize as well
Some species can ‘walk ’ slowly or ‘stroll ’!
leisurely on sea floor ‘on all the fours’ !
but all can camouflage&disappear in a moment
whenever there was need to surprise or escape
Interestingly it can run away speedily
even in backward direction by jet propulsion
and throw ink on a pursuer to get away
or stun the prey with its antics & tactics
It is also blue blooded like a princess
having 3 hearts like its ‘sister’ octopus ;
But has larger brain ,unique w shaped eyes
and multiple communication modes
Its style of mating is also unique, as male
adopts a Zebra pattern and meets female
face to face inserting its spermatophore
in a ‘pocket’ near females mouth !.

It is ofcourse,the“most intelligent invertebrate”
capable of recognizing , remembering
and learning from keepers and others as well;
So amazing is the magician Cuttle fish after all .
