This Scorpion Cod was among some hard and soft corals on the base of the wreck of the Key Biscayne, a drilling rig that sank during a storm in 1983 whilst being towed to Fremantle for repair. The rig lies upside down in 42 metres of clear water and is on a sandy bottom. The fish is extremely well camouflaged and difficult to see, but the beady eye gives it away!
What an amazing picture, when you pull it in close and see the actual fish, fantastic!!
