It is a relatively small species of cuttlefish the mantle elongates to 3 times longer than it is wide. The mantle is cigar-shaped and triangular towards the anterior end. Narrow fins extend along the lateral margin of the mantle and widen along the posterior. The head is short and narrower than the mantle.The common name of S. braggi originates from its slender cuttlebone, which is lanceolate in shape
As with all cuttlefishes, the ‘shell’ is the animal’s rigid but buoyant internal support structure, which floats to the surface once the animal dies and may drift many kilometres before beaching.
There are no photo's of this species alive and is known from it's bone or shell that is washed up
