Peacock Flounders: Masters of Disguise

Peacock flounders are flat fish that excel at hiding. They have both eyes on one side, allowing them to lie flat on the ocean floor. These fish can change colors quickly to blend in with their surroundings. You can find them in shallow waters, making them easy for divers and snorkelers to spot if they are patient. Peacock flounders help keep the reef ecosystem balanced by preying on smaller creatures.
