A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Dactylopterus volitans
Found in the bottom of the sea, at about 3 to 4 meters depth. In the beginning it had closed it's wings and i just saw a big fish, but when it opened it's wings it was astonishing.
Sand / Muddy

What a beautiful fish!
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
