You have the eyes of an expert angler if you can spot the flounders perfectly camouflaged on the seabed

TIKTOK users have been left in hysterics as they test their eyes and try to spot the hidden fish in a video captured by a scuba-diver.

Four sneaky flounders blend into the coral on the floor of the Caribbean Sea at CuraƧao, too covert to be seen by the untrained eye.

Most people will not see the flounder camouflaged against the coral

But TikTok creator Scuba Dan noticed them all.

He captioned a video of his dive: “I saw this #bluespotted #flounder OR #peacockflounder while i was #diving in #curacao!

“He thinks he was hidden but scuba dan can see everything.”

The scuba-diver explained fish employ camouflage as their primary protection technique against predators.

Dan used humour in the clip to draw viewers in, giving a voice to the flounders and pretending to be in conversation with them.

He quotes one flatfish as saying: “Ha ha Daniel. Can you see me? Daniel can you find me?”

Daniel responded: “Um who are you?”

The fish said: “Daniel I’m a flounder. You cannot see me. I’m the master of camouflage.”

The blue and green fish proceeded to launch itself off coral and lead Dan on a wild chase.

It says: “Ha ha Daniel. Yes Daniel we will run Daniel. Chase me Daniel.”

Daniel replies: “Bro I saw you at the start.”

The scuba-diver continued on his journey, spotting an additional three flounders.

TikTok users found the video hysterical, with one user writing: “This made me laugh more than it should of.”

Another person said: “I just woke up sitting on the couch while sipping my coffee, and watching this video laughing.”

One user questioned: “Also how does he see him??”

The video was viewed more than 40,600 times by people eager to test their eyesight and quickly spot the four flounders.

Do you have the eyes of an expert angler?

Test your vision further with this photo of three adorable frogs hidden among plants.

If you can spot them in under five seconds, you have 20/20 vision.

Or try this photo of two cats hidden in the trees.

The furry felines are hidden in plain sight but are doing their best to remain unseen.

If you can spot them, you might just have a high IQ and 20/20 vision.

Can you 'sea' the flounder in the middle and to the left of the frame?
