Details of the public displays at the renowned Maui Ocean Centre, an education and research station.

There are two Flowery Flounders in this display. One is clearly visible at the centre left. The second, in the centre of the image, is half-buried in the sand and is a master of camouflage. Even more unique is the location of the eyes on the left side of the fish's face. These eyes project like two radar domes from the fish's body, moving independently to scan the environment and potential meals. Flounder are born with an eye on each side of its head, but the right eye migrates to the left side of the face in the first 6 months of life. The fish spends most of its time crawling along the shallow ocean floor on its fins (which virtually encircle the body).

Most unusual.

Caught this pair yesterday before our snorkeling 'adventure'. Shot this from the beach.

The big one (Mom?) was slapping the water repeatedly then the smaller one joined in.
