Found in warmer waters on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the flying gurnard is a bottom-dwelling fish that usually lives around reefs. They like to explore the soft, sandy or muddy areas with the free part of their pectoral fins, the pair of fins located on each side of the fish just behind the gills. When excited, the flying gurnard spreads its fan-like pectoral fins, showing off an array of color.
