Sepia tanybracheia is a species of cuttlefish native to the southeastern Indian Ocean. It is known only from the type locality. S. tanybracheia lives at depths of 200 to 205 m. [4]

Males grow to a mantle length of 51 mm. [4]

The type specimen was collected off Western Australia ( 12°36′S123°45′E / 12.600°S 123.750°E / -12.600; 123.750 ) and is deposited at the Museum of Victoria in Melbourne. [5]
