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.

$Devil Scorpionfish or False Stonefish Scorpaenopsis diabolus occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific on rubble or weedy coralline-rock bottoms of reef flats and lagoon and seaward reefs in a depth range from 1-70m, max. length 30cm. Scorpaenopsis diabolus is relatively uncommon. When disturbed, the species flashes its inner pectoral fins. The venomous dorsal sting can inflict a painful injury. The species occurs solitary like this specimen or in pairs and is often partly buried. \nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'47.196 N 125°14'12.42 E at 22m depth$

$Dwarf Lionfish or Shortfin Turkeyfish Dendrochirus brachypterus occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific in reef flats and shallow lagoons, in areas with weed-covered rocks on sandy substrates in a depth range from 2 to 80m, max. length 17 cm. \n\nThe reproduction of Dendrochirus brachypterus is particularly interesting:\nDendrochirus brachypterus has a unique ovary where germinative epithelium surrounds a spongy stroma. During oogenesis, oocytes form on peduncles, growing away from the germinal layer to create space for new eggs. This process, occurring year-round in favorable conditions, supports survival by increasing reproductive efficiency and protecting planktonic larvae, their most vulnerable stage.\n\nLike other Lionfish species, this one has venomous dorsal spines, 13 of them. \n\nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia \n1°28'47.196 N 125°14'12.42 E at 17m depth by night$

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