Tetraroge [Tetraroge]
Description
The Tetraroge genus is known for its venomous spines and rugged appearance. These fishes are adept at blending into their rocky or coral surroundings, making them nearly invisible to both predators and prey. They are ambush predators, waiting patiently for small fish or invertebrates to come close before striking.
