$Weedy Scorpionfish Rhinopias frondosa occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from South Africa (off Durban) east to southern Japan, the Caroline Islands, and eastern Australia in a depth range from 10 to 297m, max. length 23cm. \nThe colour can range from yellow and lavender to dark red and purple. Like most Scorpaenidae, Weedy Scorpionfish are mostly nocturnal ambush hunters, using their camouflage to prey on unsuspecting fish and invertebrates. They rarely swim (they do not have a swim bladder!), but rather move along the bottom propelling themselves with their fins. \nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°25'51.21 N 125°11'5.142 E at 30m depth\n\nN.B. \nThe deep blue background is a mix of the low color temperature of the lamp and the underexposure of some areas. There was no color temperature change with Photoshop.$

The juvenile Circular Spadefish (Platax orbicularis) has a distinctive and unique appearance compared to its adult form. Its body is disc-shaped and mimicking a leaf, with a black patch behind its eye and a yellowish-orange tail. As it grows, its body becomes more elongated and its coloration changes, developing black stripes on its sides and a yellowish-white body. Despite its unusual appearance, the juvenile Circular Spadefish is a popular sight in tropical waters and can often be found swimming in small schools near coral reefs.
