Stone fish (Synanceia sp.)


Utilizing its amazing camouflage, the stone fish waits motionless on the sea floor for prey to swim past. The fish strikes at incredible speed, sucking prey directly into the mouth in as little as 0.015 seconds. It is also the world’s most venomous fish with 13 spines capable of killing predators that may disturb it.
