Top ten Cephalopods

[scythemantis]

So I just got done writing my site's longest article, three solid pages of Cephalopoda including a simple summary of the group and a rather arguable "top ten" of what I consider the most overall impressive. Most of them have probably been posted here at different times in the past, but surely at least one or two facts might be new-ish to any given

(psst - Cephalopoda is a class, not a phylum)

Cuttlefish may be smarter than octopuses? Never heard that before. I remember seeing a nature show about smart non-human animals, and they found that the cuttlefish would attack its reflection as if it were another cuttlefish. Then again, they were using the cuttlefish as a substitute for an octopus, and comparing these smart cephalopods to smart birds, particularly parrots, and finding that the parrot could recognize its reflection in the mirror as a reflection while the cephalopod could not. So, I guess I've never heard anything against the notion that cuttlefish are smarter than octopuses.
