As a very bad swimmer but a master of disguise the Dragon Head - Scorpaenopsis venosa - is able to square its coloring to the environment and so hardly could be seen in the reef. In case of danger it will use its poison glands that are all over the pinnacles of its back-comp and breast-fins. On a thila at the Baa Atoll once we discovered more than 100 specimen of these scorpionfishes.
