Canthigaster valentini (Bleeker 1853), Valentini's Sharpnose Puffer has a filefish mimic. You have to look close to discern Paraluterus prionurus even when accidentally shipped mixed in with valentine's puffer; as a file it has a two-spine dorsal that the puffers lack. This is a type of Batesian mimicry, with the file suffering less predation by pretending to be an unpalatable puffer. S. Leyte 2013

 

Lactoria fornasini (Bianconi 1846), the Thornback Cowfish. Indo-west Pacific, south-east Atlantic (South Africa). To nine inches.  S. Leyte 2013
 
Pterois antennata (Bloch 1787), the Antennata Lion or Broad-Banded Firefish to science. This is the third lion confused with the volitans and Luna species. You won't make this mistake. Antennata lions have strikingly different pectoral fin rays. These are long, the thickness of pencil lead and bright white. Also, remember the connection, between the name Antennata for it's relation to the black and white antennae (supraorbital flaps) and the six prominent spots on their face. To eight inches long.  S. Leyte 2013
 
Scorpaenopsis diabolus (Cuvier 1829), the False Scorpionfish. Indo-Pacific; Red Sea to Hawai'i, Micronesia, Australia. To 30cm. S. Leyte 2013
