That pic aint really that good for ID purposes friend. A description may help though.

Cuttles will take a variety of food, from crabs, shrimps, live marine fish - to other cuttles!

I'm lucky enough to have a shoreline nearby, so I can pop down and fill me bucket with anything that I think it owuld fancy for a snack!

Looks like bandensis to me.
I feed mine once a day or every other day because I am getting the feeling they will overeat.

This is true Lefty.

My babies will eat a shrimp twice their mantle length, and then within 5 minutes of finishing, will pick up another.
