The grassy or rock flathead has a long-ish, rounded body and
a flattened triangular head. Its dark motley skin makes it well
camouflaged in its preferred habitat - sheltered and moderately
exposed seagrass and flat vegetated reefs. It has many southern
relations including sand flatheads, yank flatheads and dusky
flatheads. Unfortunately for this fish, it is considered the
best of the flatheads for eating. It is an active predator and
feeds on crustaceans, fish, squid, cuttlefish and sometimes
algae.
