Cuttlefish are my favorite… bar none. I have a deep amazement and concern for these mysterious creatures, and i definitely recommend ordering the PBS NOVA show on cuttlefish (im sorry its not online for free, but at least the money supports pbs):

Our biologists say it takes 2-3 weeks for dwarf cuttlefish to mature in the egg before hatching. The eggs can often be seen on display, but the babies are typically kept behind the scenes so they can be monitored more closely by aquarium staff.

How long do they stay in the egg before hatching? Will the baby cuttlefish be on display in that tank?
