closeup of bearded scorpionfish lying still on coral reef
I see you! The bearded scorpionfish is a deadly fish that is an ambush predator, lying motionless, and watching, in anticipation of prey. It's spines are venomous and sting quite bad. Nonetheless, it's quite colourful as can be seen in this photo and it's eyes look intently and cautiosly above at me.
