Close up of a Devil Scorpionfish (Scorpaenopsis diabolus). Photographed in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.

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.

$The Tassled Scorpionfish Scorpaenopsis oxycephala is a master of camouflage in highly variable colour and so a successful ambush perdator. He has 12 dorsal spines. The first in front is much shorter, the last is hidden in the fat layer. The species occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from Red Sea to the Seychelles (Seychelles confirmed by own reseach) and to Taiwan and Guam in outer cleat-water reef slopes and channels in a depth range from shallow to 35m, max. length 36cm, common 30cm. \n\nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia \n3°54'2.544 S 134°6'23.862 E at 9m depth$

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