Stonefishes [Synanceiidae]
Description
Stonefishes are masters of camouflage, often resembling rocks or coral rubble so closely that they can be hard to spot. Divers may encounter them motionless on the seafloor—watching carefully is key—because their ambush hunting style means they rely on surprise rather than speed.
