Aseraggodes haackeanus is a small flatfish from the sole family. It lives on the sandy bottom of warm seas and camouflages so well that it is almost impossible to notice it.
Aseraggodes haackeanus differs from related species by its very small size and special pattern on the upper side of the body. It is important for nature because it eats small invertebrates and serves as food for larger marine animals.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
