Flounder - Bothus mancus

This large flounder was so confident he could not be seen under a thin layer of sand along with his best sand camouflage coloration, let me get within less than two feet of him. After taking a number of close-ups of this Bothus mancus (30cm), I swam off and looking back several times, never saw him move.
