Leaf Scorpionfish (Taenianotus triacanthus) ハダカハオコゼ – size 10cm
Leaf Scorpionfish are small tin and come in a variety of colors. It is said that they shed their skin often and can change their color when they do. They usually sit on the bottom and wait for a smaller fish to come too close. They do look like a leaf rocking back and forth. Kauai 2015
