One of the most interesting looking fish I come across with during my dives. The Masters of Disguise. The Chameleons of Fish World.
Did you know, that baby flounders look like "normal" fish, so their right eye has to move to the other side of their face as they grow up? Then they have 360 degree vision when both eyes are working, as they can look backwards and forwards all at once. If one eye can't see for any reason, the flounder will have difficulty in sorting out their camouflage.
