Tub Gurnard
Chelidonichthys lucerna
Adult tub gurnards live on sandy, muddy, and gravelly bottoms in coastal seas and deeper offshore waters. They use sensitive free pectoral rays to locate crustaceans, molluscs, and small fish buried in the seabed. When disturbed, they can spread their broad blue-edged pectoral fins in a conspicuous warning display.
