The sand diver has a long body, a head that resembles a lizard, a wide mouth with sharp teeth and striking eyes. They also have pectoral fins that resemble legs and a fanned dorsal fin on the back. Sand divers can often be found partially buried in the sand, on shallow coral and rocky reefs. Sand divers are lightning quick when it comes to attacking their prey. They grab and attack their prey with their needle-like teeth. They feed on invertebrates and small fish. The sleek and quick sand diver is a master at camouflage. They are hard to spot because of their white to pink coloring that can mimic sponge or a vibrant reef.
