Dactyloscopus tridigitatus, the Sand stargazer, is a species of sand stargazer native to the Atlantic coasts of the Americas from Florida, USA to Brazil as well as in the Caribbean Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. It is found in sandy areas around reefs at depths of from 0 to 29 metres (0 to 95 ft). It is an ambush predator, burying itself nearly completely in the sand and attacking prey animals that happen by. It can reach a maximum length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) TL.[1]
