Sepia dollfusi is a species of cuttlefish native to the Red Sea and southern part of the Suez Canal. The depth range of S. dollfusi is unknown.[3] It has been recorded once in the Egyptian sector of the Mediterranean Sea, so it is potentially a Lessepsian migrant into the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal.[4]
Sepia dollfusi grows to a mantle length of 110 mm.[3]
The type specimen was collected near Périm Island in the southern Red Sea. It is deposited at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.[5] It is an important commercial species in the Suez Canal.[4]
