Giant kelpfish
Heterostichus rostratus

Giant kelpfish stick close to giant kelp and other seaweeds, where their blade-shaped bodies help them blend in. They can hide among a variety of seaweeds because they come in a variety of colors: red, green and brown, along with a series of silvery patterns. Individual kelpfish can even change colors to match changes in local color.
