A very enjoyable entry - well done!
I love to visit small seaside aquariums, and they often have a cuttlefish in a tank - I could watch them for hours as they do that clever colour-changing thing
Well done!

Thanks Icy, how kind - this started off as a Flea Market rescue, and I got quite attached to these little animals by the time I'd done researching!
Well done!

thank you so much! It's lovely to know your work has been read - and may I welcome you to h2g2 as well!
Well done!

It's great to hear you want to write for h2g2, fingol. Don't worry about time - this is the one place on Earth where you can write without deadlines. Also, entries can be short and succinct as well as long and comprehensive (I prefer writing the short ones, myself).
Just write down any ideas you have whenever you find a moment, and when you think it's ready for someone to take a look at, put it into either Peer Review (if it's complete) or the Edited Guide Writing Workshop (if it's not ready but you would like advice). But take as long as you like.
It's worth the effort. If you can manage to get one published in the Edited Guide, like this Cuttlefish entry has been, then it's a great feeling.
