The leaf scorpionfish is a flat, leaf-shaped fish that looks like a dead leaf drifting in the water. It lives on tropical coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific. It is special because it hides in plain sight and waits for its prey to come close.1

It is an ambush predator. It waits until a small fish or shrimp comes close, then moves in slowly with its pectoral fins and opens its mouth suddenly to suck the prey in. It eats small crustaceans, fishes and larvae.1
