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.

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

The Hairy Striped Frogfish (Antennarius striatus) is a master of camouflage and mimicry, with its hairy exterior and ability to change color and shape to blend into its surroundings. This species is found in the warm, tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific and makes for a fascinating subject for underwater photography or videography.

$Colour variations of Leaf Scorpionfish Taenianotus triacanthus include white, pink, yellow, tan, brown and black with mottling. The species occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific in a depth range from 5-135m, usually 5- 20m, max. length 10cm. \nThe species has the habit of mimicking a dead leaf by swaying from side to side. \n\nSince the fish has a narrow body, the backlight penetrates almost everywhere.\n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°25'51.2087 N 125°11'5.1449 E at 5m depth$

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

$The Common Lionfish Pterois volitans occurs in the tropical Pacific Ocean from Cocos-Keeling Islands and Western Australia in the eastern Indian Ocean to the Marquesas and Oeno (Pitcairn group), north to southern Japan and southern Korea, south to Lord Howe Island, northern New Zealand and the Austral Islands. The species inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs from turbid inshore areas in a depth range from 2-50 m. Often solitary, they hide in unexposed places at daytime often with head down and practically immobile, using the pattern for camouflage as a hunting skill. Juveniles are pelagic and expatriate over great distances. This is a main reason for the broad geographical range of this species. \nThe species has recently invaded Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, and may become one of the most ecologically harmful marine fish introductions to date. The dorsal fins are venomous, but it is a popular table fish. Max. length 46cm. This specimen is from Triton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia \n3°57'4.9417 S 134°8'1.0322 E at 9m depth$
