Crocodilefish (Cymbacephalus beauforti)

The Crocodilefish (Cymbacephalus beauforti) is found in muddy and rocky areas in the Indo-Pacific region. These fish like to lay in wait for their prey utilizing their incredibly effective camouflage. Sometimes slightly burrowing in the sand they use their large mouth to create a vacuum, pulling in the prey. 

The dorsal spines used for defense are venomous, causing pain if injected. 

 It would be best kept with larger fish. Their diet consists of live feeder fish, shrimps, and will take frozen meaty foods like frozen squid, clam, and krill.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
