A British videographer has captured the stunning moment a baby flamboyant cuttlefish<\/a> (Metasepia Pfefferi<\/em>) hatches and swims off into the ocean.<\/strong><\/p>

Flamboyant cuttlefish are known for their ostentatiously bright colours and ability to use their fins to walk along the seafloor.<\/a><\/p>

The tiny animals, which only reach about 8cm long, are also popular with scuba divers because they\u2019re so adorable. \u201cIs this the cutest cuttlefish in the ocean?\u201d says Jacob Guy<\/a> who captured the footage.<\/p>
We named cuttlefish one of the weirdest fish in the world<\/a><\/p>
