.
It is a white saltwater fish. It is at depths from 10 to 500 meters. During the day they remain in rocky cracks, and at night they go out in search of food. Their camouflage is perfect being difficult to distinguish. One of its main features is the multitude of poisonous thorns that it has distributed along its head and fins. They remain immobile and thanks to their camouflage they manage to capture crustaceans, molluscs and different species of fish.
Its body is robust, elongated, covered with folds and spines. It is red, but sometimes it varies between pinkish and brownish red. He is able to change his color when he wishes. Their skin is covered with algae and they change it every two weeks.
