Acanthosepion cf aculeatum (d'Orbigny, 1835)
Needle cuttlefish

These appear to belong to the genus Acanthosepion. Some of them closely resemble the figure of Sepia aculeata in Humann & DeLoach (2010) but since these can vary their color and texture so much, we are leaving the ID tentative. It is possible that more than one species are figured on this page.

Some of the others are more questionable. Some features may resemble those of Ascarosepion latimanus.
