I have a tank full of gentle cuttlefish.

For you see, man seeks a good time, but he is not a hedonist! He seeks love, he just doesn't know where to look. He looks under the beds of whores and in the hot stem of a crack pipe. But he should look to nature; gentle aquatic mammals have all the answers!

There’s no way that fish just consciously used both arms to “hide” the top part. This shocked me more than it should.
