Hide And Seek on the reef

Animals living in diverse ocean habitats develop unique ways of blending in to their environment, known as “camouflage.” In particular, color is important to fish and many can change the color of their skin completely in order to blend in and hide from predators, warn other animals they are poisonous, or communicate in a variety of ways to other members of their group using color changing techniques. Fish use specialized cells in the skin called chromatophores to perform these dramatic color changes. It’s fun to imagine what it would be like if we could change color. This section explains the importance of being unique and true to oneself.
