Looking very much like part of the seafloor, a Reef Stonefish, Synanceia verrcosa, waits patiently for a small fish or other prey to come within striking distance. For self-defense, Stonefish are equipped with hollow dorsal spines that act like hypodermic needles, injecting a powerful toxin that causes extreme pain and even death to unlucky vicitims. Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar/Burma, Andaman Sea
