The amazing Mahi Mahi. These beautiful (and tasty) fish are usually a vibrant green color with yellow and blue highlights, but also alternate their colors to lighter shades of blues and even metallic silver. They have special color changing cells called chromatophores, which are three-dimensional, pigment-containing, light-reflecting cells, which give them the ability to flicker their colors. These chromatophores are connected to the fish’s nervous system, which prompts them to change colors when excited. Get those pictures done quickly after landing - those beautiful colors tend to fade fast!
