Batrachoidiformes is an order of fish commonly known as toadfish. These fish are primarily found in shallow coastal waters and are characterized by their flattened bodies and broad heads. They have a unique ability to produce sounds, which they use for communication and attracting mates. Toadfish are typically bottom-dwellers, often hiding among rocks and coral. They have a varied diet, feeding on small fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. Some species are known for their distinctive coloration and patterns, which help them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage from predators.
