Sand and Camouflage

Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: All underwater images were taken off the same beach in kona at the Big Island of Hawaii. The upper left frame was taken 1-2 feet off shore. Flowery w:Flounder, Bothus mancus is blended well in the black lava sand.The lower left frame was taken 10-15 feet off shore. Hawaiian Lizardfish ,"Synodus 'ulae" has no problem with w:camouflage in the mixed (lava and w:coral/ w:seashell sand. Even the eyes of the fish have a different colors to better match the sand.The upper right and the lower right images were taken few hundreds feet off shore. Although the sand there still has particles of lava it mostly came from corals and seashells. Surprisingly the same Hawaiian Lizardfish, as from the left lower frame looks very well camouflaged in that white sand. Please try to find the fish at those upper and lower right frames, and, if you give up then look here. Date: 2009. Source: Own work. Author: Brocken Inaglory. Other versions: .
