Fowlerichthys [Fowlerichthys]
Description
Fowlerichthys genus members are characterized by their large, expandable bodies and elaborate camouflage patterns. They are often found in tropical and subtropical reefs, hiding in crevices or among sponges. Their camouflage skills, combined with the ability to inflate their bodies, make them difficult for predators to recognize and ingest.
