A ghostly white Leaf Scorpion Fish Taenianotus triacanthus, also known as a paperfish, lies motionless resembling a dead leaf lying in the water. The paperfish resembles a leaf in many ways with a large mouth and head and a dark line through it’s eyes. It even makes gentle sideways movements in its pelvic area which make it look like a drifting object.
