It would be easy to mistake this spotted goblin for a rock on the bottom of the ocean floor. As it turns out, that is exactly what nature intended – the spotted goblin’s body color is very similar to that of the surrounding sandy or coral seabed in which they are found serving as a form of natural camouflage. This species of fish is nocturnal and typically lies partially buried on the sea floor during the day, covering itself with sand and other debris making it virtually invisible to any other species in the same area. On the off chance the spotted goblin is disturbed, it will fan out its brilliantly colored fins as a warning to scuba divers and potential predators. There are no known threats directly impacting this species, but efforts to keep our oceans clean can only help to further secure the future of this extraordinary fish. Photo taken @aquariumdenver

happy_just_because_ Wow! As many BEAUTIFUL CREATURES there are out there......that and the stone fish (which I thought that was) are 2 UUUUUUUUUGLY things!!!!!! Thanks for sharing it!! Don't you guys ever get stung,or bitten?? Seems pretty dangerous when there's so many 'camouflaged ' creatures.

owen.eickhoff How do you photograph fish? Is there a camera in the tank, and if so, how do you deal with glare and still have a uniform backdrop?

sharrongorju Only a face a mother could love. Thank you for sharing the stone fish and educational tidbits.
