FISH THAT BLEND AND CAMOUFLAGE

CAN YOU SEE ME?




A giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama), photographed off the south Australian coast, retires to the ocean floor at night, employing complex camouflage strategies to blend in with the sand and hide from predators. Researchers are now studying how other marine creatures perceive the cuttlefish's colors.
                                                                         




                                                                                    

This fish, the flounder, is a very well hid fish.

It has the same sparkles as the floor has and looks just like the floor.
Along the East coast of the United States and Canada and the Pacific Ocean.
Their camouflage has an other purpose then the Ibexes camouflage.
The Flounders use it to hide from their prey.
When the prey comes swimming in he won't notice the Flounders that are waiting for him to come.
And when he notices it is too late and he will be attacked by the Flounders.                      

  


This robust ghost pipefish (Solenostomus cyanopterus) is particularly fond of blending itself deepdown the seabed . Like octopus, nudibranchs, cuttlefish and other marine life, learning to hide is a compulsory lesson for this incredible animal. It just looks like a blade of sea glass, which shows the best camouflage found in nature.

This spotted scorpionfish (Scorpaena plumier) displays the camouflage with the coral reef. While staying in motionless, it lies to wait for prey to swim by and then it'll swallow its target by lunging forward. The natural camouflage also helps this animal to hide among surrounding rocks or algae by just adjusting its coloration.
