Looks like a Devil Scorpion fish but it may also be a Stone fish. I'm not very good at identification. If I were forced to make a guess I'd go with the Scorpion fish.

I don't know how you saw that from above. Congrats on a great set of pics.

I've just spent 20 minutes comparing photos. No idea which it is.

Any Biologists out there?

Great spot! I believed, it's a scorpion fish! We get a lot of them, in Malaysia!

I nearly put my hand on one of those reaching for a rock to steady myself for a shot of something else. I was really lucky to see it. They're hard to spot sometimes.

Very nice series of shots to show the effectiveness of its camoflage.
