	`ABSTRACT:`
/AB	`Sexual mimicry among animals is widespread, but does it impart a`
	`fertilization advantage in the widely accepted 'sneak-guard' model of sperm`
	`competition? Here we describe field results in which a dramatic facultative`
	`switch in sexual phenotype by sneaker-male cuttlefish leads to immediate`
	`fertilization success, even in the presence of the consort male. These`
	`results are surprising, given the high rate at which females reject`
	`copulation attempts by males, the strong mate-guarding behaviour of consort`
	`males, and the high level of sperm competition in this complex mating system.`
