Description
The leaf scorpionfish is a master of ambush and camouflage. This voracious predator often mimics dead leaves and seaweed, freely swaying back and forth with the current. Being perfectly camouflaged, it catches small fish and crustaceans, as well as various larvae. The species also poses a threat to humans, as it carries venomous spines.
