Sepia koilados is a species of cuttlefish native to the southeastern Indian Ocean, specifically the North West Shelf in western Australia ( 18°31′S118°09′E / 18.517°S 118.150°E to 19°12.6′S116°25.8′E / 19.2100°S 116.4300°E ). It lives at depths of between 182 and 203 m. [3]
Males are slightly larger than females. They grow to a mantle length of 68 mm and 58 mm, respectively. [3]
The type specimen was collected in the North West Shelf ( 18°36′S118°02′E / 18.600°S 118.033°E to 18°39′S118°04′E / 18.650°S 118.067°E ). It is deposited at the Museum of Victoria in Melbourne. [4]
