Nice! You need to have some patience with this video, but near the end it shows the color changing:

Marta, you may want to check further, this may not be Sepia bandansis.
Have seen this small sized Cuttlefish many time and usually its confused with Sepia bandensis. I am not definitely sure which Sepia sp this is though.

My observation of S.bandensis can be seen here :

Other forums may leave this species as Sepia sp. Posted 5 years ago

  Sorry, I will only remove the sp name when you can provide me with an appropriate alternative sp name. S. bandenis varies color and I am not sure your are right. Thanks anyway. Let's leave it like it is for now. I trust theman who owns the resort and has many years of experience in helping me ID these sepias :-) Posted 5 years ago
