It is found in the Western Indian Ocean; the Red Sea. The species now also occurs in the Mediterranean, having invaded as a Lessepsian migrant through the Suez Canal.[1] BehaviourThey are predatory bottom-dwelling fish, using their camouflage to ambush their prey. DescriptionTentacled flatheads are mottled brown or green and grey, coloured ideally to be camouflaged with their habitat. They have eye lappets, which help to break up the outline of the iris and improve camouflage, and can reach a length of 70 cm. HabitatTentacled flatheads dwell in areas where the sea floor is soft or sandy and their camouflage is most effective, usually associated with reefs or rubble. DietTentacled flatheads are carnivorous, and will eat most fish small enough to fit in their mouth.
