Flounder change colour and pattern for camouflage. The stone flounder, like many flounders, possesses a fascinating feature known as chromatophores, specialized. We used a spectrometer to measure reflectance spectra and a digital camera to capture body patterns of two flounder species camouflaged on four natural backgrounds of different spatial scale (sand, small gravel, large gravel and rocks). They lie onto the seabed, covering their thin bodies with a layer of sand and leaving only their eyes. If you were in the ocean, could you spot the mimic octopus, sea dragon, stonefish, or flounder? As a type of flatfish, flounder are ideally suited to life on the ocean floor. If you were in the ocean, could you spot the mimic octopus, sea dragon, stonefish, or flounder? It is advantageous for these fish to blend. One animal that uses camouflage to hide in its surroundings is the stone flounder, a flat fish that lies on the ocean floor as it searches for prey.
