In the waters around Tenerife, flounders are commonly found in shallow coastal areas, where they prefer sandy bottoms, seagrass beds, and rocky reefs. These environments provide ideal conditions for their camouflage techniques. Flounders bury themselves in the sand, leaving only their eyes exposed to monitor for potential prey and threats. They are opportunistic feeders, preying on small fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates that pass by. Their flattened shape and coloration allow them to lie undetected on the ocean floor, striking quickly when prey is within reach. This ambush predation strategy is highly effective, showcasing the importance of their camouflage abilities.
