Sepia bone?
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:37 amIs a cuttlebone the same as a sepia bone? My pet store only has sepia bones. They look the same so I bought them.

Also I just read an interesting fact that answered my question, it appears sepia is the family that cuttlefish comes from.
Quote from wikipedia.
"Sepia is a genus of cuttlefish encompassing some of the best known and most common species. The name of the genus is the Latinized form of the Greek σηπία, sēpía, cuttlefish."
