A stargazer hides in the sand with its eyes on top, looking up at the stars. Brazil's shirt has five stars above the badge: one for each World Cup they have won.

On Futbol Island the stargazer can be caught at:
- South Pier Fishing Station: The old fishing station at the end of the South Pier. Mackerel shoals pass here.
- Lifebuoy Point: Beside the red lifebuoy on the western boardwalk. Shrimp love the warm shallows.
- North Beach Rocks: Tide-pool rocks at the quiet end of North Beach. Octopuses hide in the cracks.
- West Cove: A windy cove on the west coast where a little stream meets the sea, so river fish swim in beside the rays and sharks.
- Seawall Gate Sands: A sandy bank just past the seawall gate, where the causeway leaves the main island. Shrimp dart about in the warm shallows, and an octopus hides in the seawall stones.
- Turtle Bank: A wide sand bank on the last stretch to Coral Cay, looking out toward Turtle Sandbar. Clear, sandy shallows where young sharks cruise past.
- Coral Garden Beach: The quiet north-west beach of Coral Cay. Coral grows just offshore, so octopuses and little sharks come hunting.
- Sharks Beach Point: The east end of Sharks Beach, a long kick from the beach-soccer court. The open sea starts here, so tuna and little sharks swim close in.
- Farm Beach: The sunny south beach below Coral Cay Farm. Cod and haddock nose along the sandy bottom, and the farmers swap fruit for the catch.
Comes out at night.
Size on the island: 18–40 cm.
