On our dives, we frequently encounter flounders. Some are big, some are small. Most are trying to blend in with the sand. Some are chasing other flounders away. They are capable of rapidly changing color to match the bottom. These guys were all about 10 to 12 inches in length.
They are really quite interesting too look at up close. Their heads look other-worldly. Their eye stalks pivot independent of each other.
The peacock flounder is the species that we see most often here in Bonaire. They have numerous blue rosettes over the entire body.
