There is a reason why the fish belonging to the family Uranoscopidae are called stargazers. They have eyes on the top of their large heads which constantly look up and which can bulge out when the fish are buried beneath the sand — imagine only a pair of eyes sticking out of the sand. The mouths of stargazers are turned up, as well, and inside are worm-shaped appendages that they use to lure prey.
