Photograph by @mattiasklumofficial Funky fish! The leaf scorpionfish is almost as flat as a leaf and resembles a leaf in many ways. Its color varies from green, pink, red, brown, ocher white and to a golden yellow! The venom of the leaf scorpionfish is considerably weaker than that of the lionfish and stonefish. Go to @mattiasklumofficial to see more images from our projects around the world. This cool species can be found in tropical waters on coral reefs, from shallow water to a depth of 130 m. I found and photographed it while producing our film "Vamizi -Cradle of Coral" off the coast of Mozambique. #protectbiodiversity #oceanconservation #vamiziisland #vamizi #mattiasklum #scorpionleaffish #camouflage #venom @mattiasklumcollection @irisalexandrov @natgeo @thephotosociety
