Googly-Eyed Fish Lurks in Shadows as Divers Swim Past

A peculiar-looking fish showed off its camouflage skills while lurking beneath the sand in the ocean near Blairgowrie, Victoria on December 15.

In this video, filmed by diver Jules Casey, the stargazer fish can be seen hiding in the shadows as some divers swim past.

Stargazer fish are a predatory species of fish which catch their prey by burying themselves in the sand with only their faces showing.

They’re also known for their spectacular ‘disappearing acts’ in which they bury themselves. Credit: Jules Casey via Storyful
