Stars and Stripes Toadfish

If you are full of a toxic poison, you don't tend to need to be very good at swimming. If fact you can let yourself go a little and just veg out in a nice comfy spot. Nothing is going to eat you after all. That's what Stars and Stripes Toadfish like to do - you invariably find them lying on the seafloor no doubt wishing they had a TV.

We've no idea why a spotted green fish was named 'Stars and Stripes,' it's another odd choice of name for a fish - maybe it was discovered on July 4th.
