Flowery Flounder or Peacock Flounder Bothus mancus occurs thoughout the Indo-Pacific region in a depth range from 3 to 150m, inhabits sandy bottoms of coastal coral reefs, generally in shallow, max. length 51cm. The species hunts mostly at night, but also active during the day, feeding on fishes, crabs and shrimps. Bothus mancus is a left-eyed flounder, like all of the family Bothidae, so in adults, both eyes are on the left side of the body. The eye near the mouth is the original eye, not the migrated one. During metamorphosis, the right eye migrates across the head to the left side and ends up dorsal (upper). The original left eye remains ventral (lower).

$Plankton plays a vital role in marine ecosystems. Blackwater diving is an exhilarating underwater activity that takes place in the open ocean at night, offering a unique opportunity to photograph zooplankton and other pelagic creatures. The goal is to capture delicate creatures as they ascend from the deep in a nightly migration. Translucent, black and red parts of the body are invisible at night. \nThis is the larva of a Flowery Flounder Bothus mancus. The larva lives in the pelagic zone. Bothus mancus occurs throughout the Indo-Pacific region, adults inhabit sandy bottoms of coastal coral reefs, generally in shallow. The species hunts mostly at night, but also active during the day, feeding on fishes, crabs and shrimps. Max. length 51cm. \nIn adults, both eyes of this species are on the left side. This specimen's right eye did not migrate to the other side. \nThis larva of Peacock Flounder Bothus mancus was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia\n1°28'51.636 N 125°14'37.95 E at 13m depth$
