Flatfish eat a wide variety of organisms, including shrimps and other crustaceans, squid, clams, sea urchins, marine worms, and many species of fish.The upper side of many species is brownish or tan, matching the color of the sand, rocks or other bottom material and making the fish difficult for predators above to see. Flatfish grow no longer than a few inches.
