Star Gazer All 4 Australian species have mottled cream bodies that closely resemble the sandy bottom, making these  fishes difficult to detect even when they emerge from the sand.  The one above is a pygmy stargazzer and is confined to Victorian and Tasmanian waters.  Main food is small fish and shrimp. Click/tap to enlarge
