Flying gurnard

Description:

•Their "wings" are designed to scare away the predators and they can't use them to glide in the air as do the fins of the flying fish. •Their "wings" are semi-transparent with phosphorescent bright blue coloration at their tips. •They eat small fish, bivalves and crustaceans.

Habitat:

Rocky reefs, estuarine zones, mangrove-reef systems, seagrass beds, sandy beaches, shelf-edge reefs -I saw this fish in Ilha Grande (RJ, Brazil)
