Scorpionfish

Devil scorpionfish lie motionless along the entire length of the wreck's hull, their camouflage matching the encrusting coral and sponge so precisely that many divers pass within centimetres without noticing them. The wreck's broken surface texture and mixed lighting create ideal habitat for these ambush predators, and patient observers can find 8 to 12 individuals on a single careful circuit of the outer hull.
