Hogfish, the chameleons of the ocean, can "see" with their skin even after they die, thanks to light-sensing cells beneath their colour-changing cells. These cells act like "internal Polaroid film" that captures the changes in their skin colour and helps them adjust it to match their environment. This remarkable ability could have implications for sensor technology and bio-inspired design. #hogfish #colourchange #biomimicry https://www.livescience.com/animals/fish/color-changing-hogfish-use-their-skin-to-see-themselves-even-after-theyre-dead?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter

This #fish doesn't just see with its eyes, it also sees with its skin https://phys.org/news/2023-08-fish-doesnt-eyes-skin.html
Dynamic light filtering over dermal opsin as a sensory feedback system in fish color change https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-40166-4
"the #hogfish is known for its color-changing skin. The species can morph from white to mottled to reddish-brown in a matter of milliseconds to blend in with #corals, sand or rocks... Can hogfish detect light using only their skin, independently of their eyes and brain?"
