Summer Flounder
Paralichthys dentatus
An adult summer flounder rests on sandy or muddy sea floors along the western Atlantic coast. It lies partly buried with both eyes facing upward, waiting to lunge at fish, squid, and crustaceans. Its color can shift to match the bottom, making it a highly effective ambush predator.
