Pair of Broadclub cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) mating in a coral reef, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Having succeeded in gaining the female's acceptance, the male on the right has wrapped his arms around the female's head. He is in the process of deliverying a package of sperm with his hectocotylus (modified left tentacle). The male typically stays with the female while she deposits fertilized eggs, to guard against copulation by other males
