The Sargassum fish is a strange-looking fish that blends well with its surroundings in its seaweed habitat. It is laterally compressed and its length can reach 20 centimeters (7.9 in). The colour of the body and the large oral cavity is very variable but is usually mottled and spotted yellow, green and brown on a paler background and the fins often have several dark streaks or bands.
