Crossword Genius

Fish seen below by little Florence (8)

I believe the answer is:

flounder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fish' is the definition.
(flounder is a kind of fish)

'below by little florence' is the wordplay.
'below' becomes 'under' (synonyms).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'little florence' becomes 'flo' (I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'under' after 'flo' is 'FLOUNDER'.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flounder that I've seen before include "thrash around wildly" , "Flatfish - behave awkwardly" , "Small flatfish" , "small swimmer" , "Thrash about helplessly around the fish" .)
