A Scorpionfish is a master of camouflage as it rests motionless on the coral reef. A painful sting is delivered from the dorsal spine to any diver unfortunate enough to carelessly place a hand on it.
An Orange-finned Anemonefish nestles in the stinging tentacles of its host Anemone. A mucus membrane on the skin of the Anemonefish offers protection from getting stung.
A school of Anthias speckles the reef with color.
