The Rhinopias eschmeyeri (Paddle-flap Scorpionfish) remain completely motionless for long periods, relying on their unbranched, paddle-like eye flaps and bright coloration (pink, red, or orange) to blend into coral rubble and sponges.When small fish or crustaceans come close, they lunge forward and rapidly expand their massive mouths, creating a vacuum that sucks the prey in whole. They also possess venomous dorsal spines for defense.
