Why does the Plate fish (peacock flounder), have blue circles?

Usually strong color use to indicate that a species is venomous. But for this fish it seems that it changes its color to camouflage. I don’t really understand why the color changes to stong blue if it’s not venomous? Or is it venomous?

Peacock Flounder under the Frederiksted Pier, St Croix USVI

I really like the way Flounders can change color based on their background.

πŸ”₯ Like all flounders, peacock flounders are masters of camouflage. They use cryptic coloration to avoid being detected by predators. Whenever possible rather than swim they crawl on their fins along the bottom while constantly changing colors and patterns

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

The Sea Tower | Chapter 18

[Cover] [Synopsis] [Table of Contents] [Beginning] [Patreon]

Chapter 18

The Warring Surf

Brogan considered retiring, thinking that putting the life of a seadog behind him was worth weighing. β€œDismantle the damn cannon, if you have to!” he shouted over the ruckus on-deck. β€œIt does us no good pointing out at open waters.” Impatience had frayed his nerves, honing his words to a sharpened edge.

His wife would appreciate him being home more often, the kids would enjoy it too, and he could find good work laboring or apprenticing under a tradesman. He was still spry enough to be considered a good candidate for such work. And unlike these oafsβ€”β€œput your godsdamn backs into it, you curs”—who didn’t seem to know their tail end from a hole in the ground.

A clunk and the cannon fell from its mounting to the cheers of the men on the deck. A stray cannonball, fired from the enemy, skipped off the ocean’s surfaced off the starboard side. It skid off the solid waters between their ship and the Ouroboros, leaving long trenches in its wake, and gave everyone who witnessed the close shave pause. A lone rifle crack echoing off the hull from a nearby ship broke the spell.

β€œTo the bow!” Brogan was barking madly, and was answered by a chorus of ayes just as wild. β€œAnd doubleβ€”no, tripleβ€”the breech ropes!” Without proper mounting, the cannons were more likely to buck haphazardly, but it couldn’t be helped. β€œSo, you lads don’t break your necks.” he added as an afterthought, knowing that sometimes good reasoning made the difference between compliance and insubordination. Brogan turned to run along the deck over to the next turret in the series after seeing his instructions carried out.

The dreadnaught. He cursed their luck. The man was a legend and a beast.

Had their side known the man would be defending his home? He looked over at the command crew, scoffing at the oxymoron; not a single order had been issued by that lot. Jondar, who appeared a nervous wreck, clearly hadn’t possessed the foreknowledge of their encounter. Why would he? The man was a puppet. Hurom, less so.
