    Wildlife

    Behavior

    The leaf scorpion fish is a mimic fish, flattened laterally, resembling a dead leaf, and moves with the swell as a leaf would. This effective camouflage strategy  has allowed to evolve, effective to defend itself but also to hunt. It’s pray, small fish, only detect it once it’s too late, inhaled into its expandable mouth. These fish that seem not very mobile, are extremely fast like the frog fish when they attack.

    Leaf scorpion fish shed their skin regularly. When this happens, the dead skin detaches itself from the body in one piece, without disintegrating.

    Flora

    This species is living on sanded ocean floors among the soft corals and anemones. It is a tiny species and we often have to get a closer look to its environment.
