No powerheads or at least I am afraid of trying them!! Part of me says cuttles are too smart to get sucked into a powerhead but another part of me says why chance it. The return line to the tank is taken from the protien skimmer effluent water as to give as much oxygen as possible. Lighting doesn't seem as important unless you want more color from your cuttles. Meaning as with most sea creatures better lighting shows off more colors. Most important feed them!! They like to eat!

Cute! Does it ever attack the damsels? They seem a tad large for such a tiny bab to eat.

I'm fairly certain that isn't a flamboyant cuttlefish (metasepia pfefferi). I raised and bred them for 6 months last year and I never saw any that pale. Still a cute cuttlefish though!
