And these times, I thought they were rocks :). Great capture.

Very nice. I like the way these ugly beasts are just sitting there. I agree, they do look like bulldogs. The overall brightness of the background makes me think of a couple of bulldogs sitting guarding someone's front gate or doorway.

Oh yes, the freaking stonefish bros...
Though I've seen many, it's the first time I come across that color, as they usually hide and rest on rocky bottoms, they are mostly dull greyish.

That's really the most dangerous fish indeed, i've had one of my friends that got stung by a scorpionfish (same family, but a bit less venomous), he was crying out all he could for an hour until someone dipped his foot into boiling water. Skin burnt, but 2 minutes later the friend was already feeling better as the venom is said to be thermolabil.
