The Atlantic lizardfish is a marine predator with a long body and a large head. It lies on the bottom and suddenly grabs its prey.
This fish differs from related species by bright blue stripes and body shape. It is important for marine nature as a predator that regulates the population of small animals on the bottom.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
