Metasepia pfefferi
''Metasepia pfefferi'', also known as Pfeffer's flamboyant cuttlefish, is a species of cuttlefish occurring in tropical Indo-Pacific waters off northern Australia, southern New Guinea, as well as numerous islands of the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. The flesh of this colorful cephalopod contains a unique poison, making it unsuitable for consumption.〔(NOVA, 2007. Cuttlefish: Kings of Camouflage. ) (program ) NOVA, PBS, April 3, 2007.

The natural range of ''M. pfefferi'' extends from Mandurah in Western Australia (), northeastward to Moreton Bay in southern Queensland (), and across the Arafura Sea to the southern coast of New Guinea.〔Reid, A., P. Jereb, & C.F.E. Roper 2005. Family Sepiidae. ''In:'' P. Jereb & C.F.E. Roper, eds. ''Cephalopods of the world. An annotated and illustrated catalogue of species known to date. Volume 1. Chambered nautiluses and sepioids (Nautilidae, Sepiidae, Sepiolidae, Sepiadariidae, Idiosepiidae and Spirulidae)''. FAO Species Catalogue for Fishery Purposes. No. 4, Vol. 1. Rome, FAO. pp. 57–152.〕 This species has also been recorded from Sulawesi and the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, and even as far west as the Malaysian islands of Mabul and Sipadan.〔Norman, M.D. 2000. ''Cephalopods: A World Guide''. ConchBooks.〕 They are also common in the Philippines and are frequently sighted in the Visayas.
The type specimen, a female, was collected off Challenger Station 188 in the Arafura Sea () at a depth of 51 m on October 9, 1874, as part of the ''Challenger'' expedition.〔〔(Latitude and Longitude Data for ''Metasepia pfefferi'' )〕 It is deposited at The Natural History Museum in London.〔(Current Classification of Recent Cephalopoda )〕
