WHITEMARGIN STARGAZER

                                            WHITEMARGIN STARGAZER   

                            

Otherwise called Pop-eye Fish, Pop-peered toward Fish, Tube-nosed Stargazer and Marbled Stargazer. 

Discovered separately in silty, sandy tidal ponds and seaside waters, covered in the sand with simply the mouth and eyes appearing. 

They feast upon fish, octopus and squid. 

Length - 35cm 

Profundity - 5-150m 

Boundless Indo-Pacific 

The name stargazer originates from the reality the eyes are situated on top of their heads! They are normally discovered covered in the sand with simply their heads indicating holding up to snare their clueless prey as they swim passed! 

Stargazer have electric organs situated in a specific pocket behind the eyes and can release up to 50 volts, contingent upon the temperature of the water at the time!
