Flambuoyant Cuttlefish eggs hatching - Lembeh-5

I watched in amazement as 4 Flambuoyant Cuttlefish hatchlings popped out of their egg sacs and began their life as one of Lembeh's most notorious and beautiful critters.

As soon as they hatch, they are at their most colourful stage of their lives, dazzling hues of yellow, orange, purple, and pink. At first, the 4 hatchlings rested on the sand next to the eggs for about 5mins or more, and then rose from the sand 1-2m and drifted away.

It was one of the most special sights i've seen during my time here in Sulawesi.
