Brainteaser: Can you find the hidden fish in the sea?

From angels to lions, fish come in many different forms. We aren’t talking about literal angels and lions, though — we’re talking about the colorful angelfish and lionfish swimming around the world. Around 32,000 fish species populate the world, which is more than reptile, bird and mammal species combined.

If all of this fish talk is making you hungry, then it’s time to feed your brain with a slippery brainteaser. Before you dive into this optical illusion, you might be interested in a tricky fish riddle. Watch this video and see if you can figure out how to save the missing fish.

It’s a surprisingly tricky test

At first, it might seem easy to find the hidden fish. Maybe you’ll roam your eyes over this underwater brainteaser and think you can beat the cartoon in a matter of seconds. Don’t judge this eye test on its cartoonish presentation, though.

This is a work from Gergely Dudás, a world-famous puzzle master. Many of his vibrant brainteasers for all ages trick people at first glance. They underestimate the visual tests they’re dealing with.

Here’s an example:

Many of this artist’s colorful brainteasers are harder than they seem. Since they’re bursting with vivid shades and playful characters, they look like artwork from your child’s favorite bedtime story. In reality, his art challenges minds of all ages.

He’s a modern master of “find the hidden object” games, which has made him a beloved figure in the brainteaser-loving community.

Over the course of his long career, Dudás has drawn snowmen, pandas, hamsters, pears and many other creatures. This time around, his brainteaser is a picture of the ocean floor. Speaking of which, did you know that coral is actually an animal, not a plant? It’s just one of the colorful sea creatures featured in his colorful aquatic creation.

Octopi, sea snails, clams, and seahorses are everywhere — but there aren’t too many fish. In fact, there’s only one in this image. If you can’t spot it, that’s because it’s hidden among the rest of these ocean-dwellers. Can you find it?
