the+starry+flounder

Yesterday as i was swiftly moving through the oceanic current i was startled by a quickly swimming starry flounder. This particular fish is quite spectacular. They begin their life looking like any other fish, but they undergo an unusual transformation as they grow they lean to one side and the eye on the bottem side starts to move. it migrates up to the top next to the other eye, then the color on bottem of the fish begins to fade and becomes very light. The fish now appears to be flat and lives on the sand usually. they feed primarily on smaller crustaceans and mollusks. They are generally easier to tell apart from other flatfish from their striped fins. They usually grow to around 12 to 14 inches and generally under twenty pounds.

This fish made my day extra special :)
