More about Peacock flounder
The Peacock flounder (Bothus lunatus) is a bottom-dwelling marine fish known for its distinctive coloration and patterns, featuring shades of blue, green, and other hues that blend with its sandy or coral surroundings. Originating from the Western Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea, this species has a flat, oval body shape, enabling it to lie flush against the sea floor. It has both eyes on one side of its head, a common trait among flounders, facilitating its ability to see while remaining camouflaged. The Peacock flounder is not commonly kept in home aquariums, thus it's not widely recognized within the aquarium hobby.
