Ascarosepion opiparum [Ascarosepion opiparum]
Description
This species is typically seen hovering close to the seafloor, where its camouflage helps it avoid notice. Divers may notice brief flashes of patterning—like subtle stripes or patches—before it settles again, perfectly blending with rocks, sand, or seagrass edges.
