Gracile Lizardfish

Found singly, half buried or resting on silty sand bottoms of reef flats, lagoons, and sheltered seaward reefs.

Lizardfish are experts at camouflage, they lie in wait for their prey lying on top of the sand or buried with just their heads showing. Their jaws have one or more lines of needle-like teeth.
They grab their victims with lightening speed often taking quite large prey.
