The Devil Scorpionfish (Scorpaenopsis diabolus) is a master of camouflage, blending perfectly into the rocky substrate of coral reefs. Its mottled brown and white coloration, paired with its spiny fins and venomous spines, make it a formidable predator. The image shows the Devil Scorpionfish lying in wait, its mouth slightly open, as it waits for unsuspecting prey to swim by.

$Two-stick Stingfish Inimicus filamentosus occurs in the Western Indian Ocean from the Red Sea and East Africa to Indonesia, the Philippines and the Maldives on sand and rubble bottoms of coral reefs in a depth range from shallow to 55m, max. standard legth 25cm, common 20cm. \n\nThe skin is without scales except along the lateral line, and is covered with venomous spines and wartlike glands which give it a knobby appearance. \nMales and females look the same. \n\nInimicus filamentosus is an ambush predator, feeding on fishes. It is a nocturnal species that typically lies partially buried on the sea floor or on a coral head during the day, covering itself with sand (like this specimen) and other debris to further camouflage itself. \n\nWhen disturbed by a scuba diver or a potential predator, it fans out its brilliantly colored pectoral and caudal fins as a warning. Once dug in, it is very reluctant to leave its hiding place. When it does move, it displays an unusual mechanism of locomotion crawling slowly along the seabed, employing the four lower rays (two on each side) of its pectoral fins as legs. \n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'8.916 N 125°14'39.102 E at 19m depth$

$Helmut Gurnard or Oriental Flying Gurnard Dactyloptena orientalis occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Hawaiian, Marquesan and Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan and the Ogasawara Islands, south to Australia and northern New Zealand in a depth range from 1 to 100m, max. length 40cm, common length 20cm. \n\nThe Flying Gurnard uses its pelvic fins to walk along the bottom of the ocean. \nThe solitary, well-camouflaged and slow-moving species inhabits coastal waters with sandy substrates and feeds on crustaceans, clams and small fish. \n\nThe pectoral fins are normally held against the body, but when threatened the fins are expanded to startle potential predators which may include sea breams and mackerel. A diver with huge camera system looks like a potential predator, reason enough to go on defense. \n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'8.9165 N 125°14'39.1048 E at 20m depth$
