Flashing Tilefish (Hoplolatilus chlupatyi) 

Flashing Tilefish is a genus of tilefishes found in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Among them, the chameleon tilefish, also known as the flashing tilefish, is especially popular in the aquarium hobby. This species is renowned for its remarkable ability to change colors almost instantly, thanks to specialized proteins in its skin that reflect light at different wavelengths. This unique feature enables the chameleon tilefish to shift between primary and secondary colors on the light spectrum.
