Stonefish

This is one ugly fish and enjoys nothing more than lurking on the sea floor. Will he do enough to win the title?

Mackerel

It is hard to believe that a fish that travels in such huge numbers could have good camouflage, but this little fella has a few tricks up his scales.

Shrimpfish

The black stripe doesn't look like much but comes in very handy around certain spiny urchins. A good outside bet.

Leafy sea dragon

Quite possibly the most beautiful fish in the sea, but is its camouflage good enough to take this coveted title?
