    If I am understanding correctly, the genus on the species record needs to be changed to Ascarosepion because Metasepia pfefferi is no longer accepted, right? Posted one year ago

The Flamboyant Cuttlefish

Ascarosepion pfefferi is a species of cuttlefish occurring in tropical Indo-Pacific waters off northern Australia, southern New Guinea, as well as numerous islands of the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. The flesh of this colorful cephalopod contains unique acids, making it unsuitable for consumption.
