This fish is a truly strange ambush predator.

Due to their constant upward gaze, which gives the impression that they are looking at the stars, stargazers are appropriately named. In actuality, though, their eyes are fixed upward because of the way they hunt, which entails lying in the sand and waiting for an unwary fish to swim over their large mouths. The fish hides the rest of its body, but the elevated eyes of the stargazer poke out of the sand. The larger fish's prey will eventually swim over top of it, but the stargazer also has a tiny appendage in its mouth that serves as a lure to draw nearby smaller fish. The lure sticks out of the turned-up mouth and jiggles.
