While it is not uncommon for cephalopods to change colors to match their surroundings, the prismatic sepiida is the only one known to change its surroundings to match its own vibrant colors. Their magic allows them to manipulate the way light is reflected and absorbed by objects around them, altering their color and brightness or even making things glow in the dark. When threatened, this creates a dazzling display which can leave predators stunned or even blinded temporarily. More commonly, sepiidas will decorate their territory with brilliant colors and patterns, especially males trying to entice potential mates. These displays last longer than the defensive color bursts, sometimes for several weeks, but sepiidas tend to be nomadic and the area will revert to normal once they have moved on.
