This flounder was about 8 inches long, and the photos were taken at a depth of about 30 feet. In all the photos, the flounder is facing to the left, and the mouth is below the eyes, to the left.

Peacock flounder
This flounder is camouflaged to blend in with the sand. Its stalked eyes stand out from the surrounding sand. But the closer you look, the more color you see. First you might see the faint blue ringed markings on the body. Gold spots on the eye stalks, and blue spots on the fins and head certainly do not look like sand.
