We were fortunate to observed the birth/hatching of this Flamboyant Cuttlefish - Metasepia pfefferi.
The eggs were glued inside a sea shell. After hatching, it rested on the shell for a while, before swimming/floating to the water column.

I didn't get to capture the moment of birth/hatching on this particular encounter, however, 2 days later, when we were doing a night dive at the same dive site, the dive guide found another batch of eggs, 3 of them and I can see the embryos were well developed and already swimming inside the eggs. We waited patiently for the hatching and eventually, I was able to capture the moment in video. Check out the video here :
