$Devil Scorpionfish or False Stonefish Scorpaenopsis diabolus occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific on rubble or weedy coralline-rock bottoms of reef flats and lagoon and seaward reefs in a depth range from 1-70m, max. length 30cm. \n\nScorpaenopsis diabolus is relatively uncommon. When disturbed, the species flashes its inner pectoral fins. The venomous dorsal sting can inflict a painful injury. The species occurs solitary like this specimen or in pairs and is often partly buried. \n\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'47.196 N 125°14'12.42 E at 22m depth$

$Birdbeak Burrfish Cyclichthys orbicularis occurs in tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Philippines, north to southern Japan, south to Australia and New Caledonia and in the Southeast Atlantic at the south coast of South Africa in a depth range from 9 to 170m, max. length 30cm. \n\nThe nocturnal species inhabits clear protected reefs with sponge and algal habitats, staying often in large sponges during the day. Cyclichthys orbicularis occasionally occurs on reefs, but usually over sand and mud bottoms. \nThe species feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates. \n\nInterestingly, this fish can puff up its body by ingesting water, transforming into a spiny ball as a defense mechanism, which reduces its mobility but deters predators. His chemical defense mechanism is more effective than the swimming away: Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin found in various marine organisms, including Cyclichthys orbicularis. It can be lethal to non-resistant fish species. The estimated lethal dose of TTX in humans is around 2 mg of pure toxin. Even small amounts can cause severe symptoms. \n\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia\n1°27'13.104 N 125°14'14.634 E at 13m depth$

A Striated, or Hairy frogfish sits in the dark waiting to ambush prey in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. This well-camouflaged fish is rarely seen because it blends into its surroundings so well.

$Japanese Inflator Filefish Brachaluteres ulvarum is primarily associated with the waters of the Northwest Pacific around Japan, but it has been documented in Indonesian regions such as the Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi, usually in a depth range from 25 to 30m, this specimen slightly shallower in Flowerpot coral Goniopora sp. \nMax. length is 7.5cm.\n\nThe secretive species inhabits bottoms with green seaweed on deep coastal slopes, usually among soft corals and feeds on algae and crabs. Like puffers, Brachaluteres ulvarum is capable of inflating its body. \n\nMany species occur in the Lembeh Strait at a shallower depth than elsewhere: with little current and relatively dark water, it appears to be deeper. \n\nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia \n1°27'39.69 N 125°14'33.342 E at 20m depth$
