Description
This is one of the weirder fish you will see while diving. The body has twisted during development so it is completely flat with both eye migrating to the top. This one has amazing bright blue spots that blend in well with the sand. I darkened the sand in this photo to make the fish more visible but usually he blends right in and does a good job of hiding. His dorsal fins now lie on the ocean floor and here the are spread out with his spots lit up showing me how truly pissed he is about being disturbed. Lucky for him I was catching photos rather than dinner.
