Although there were dozens of leaf scorpionfish to be seen throughout the trip, including one dive where there were eight within 10 feet of each other: each one a different color, this is the only one that made it through the arduous editing process. Leaf scorpionfish look, from the side, exactly like a leaf. They even sway in the surge as a leaf would; whether or not there is a surge. To do this, they need a good grip on whatever it is they are perched on. Then they throw themselves side to side.
