Leaffishes [Taenianotidae]

Description

Taenianotidae, known as leaffishes, are a small family characterized by their leaf-like appearance, which aids in camouflage among aquatic plants and debris. They are found in the Indo-Pacific region, where they remain motionless, blending into their surroundings to ambush prey. Their ability to mimic floating debris or leaves is a remarkable adaptation for predation and avoidance of predators.
