Stonefish Australia are very good at hiding in plain sight.

The stonefish can blend in very well with its surroundings because its skin is encrusted and brown or gray with yellow, orange, and red patches. They are hard to see, and because they are between 30 and 40 centimeters long, people often think they are a stone or part of a coral reef.

Stonefish are hard to see, so people often step on them, which opens their poison sacs. Stonefish have 13 spines on their backs. At the base of each spine is a gland that stores the poison. Stonefish only use their venom to defend themselves when pressure is put on their spines. They don’t use their venom to catch prey.

Stonefish Australia can attack their prey in as few as 0.015 seconds.

Stonefish are carnivores, so most of what they eat are shrimp and other fish. Because they are so good at hiding, they can sneak up on their prey and catch them by surprise. They wait until something swims by and then attack and eat it in as little as 0.015 seconds. Even though they can move so fast, they are usually very slow swimmers.

Stonefish Australia are the cause of a lot of stings each year.

Even though the stonefish is the most poisonous fish in the world, no one has died from a stonefish sting in Australia since Europeans started living there. Anti-venom was made in the late 1950s to stop the worst from happening because many people have gotten stung by stonefish by stepping on them by accident.
