What is one animal that lives in a coral reef that uses camouflage?

I want to find out if there is any marine animal living in a coral reef that uses camouflage to hide from predator and about how it uses its camouflage.

Answer:
Manta rays (bury themselves in the sand)
octopus (changes colour)
theres way too many to list

Clownfish.

I'll say a seahorse

stingrays, many kinds of fish

Mason Say's tiger fish.

Cuttlefish can camouflage themselves against any background. I saw a show on PBS ("NOVA") about them. Fascinating little critters!

What about a leafy sea dragon (I think they live in coral reefs) they are camouflaged to look like sea weed.

I believe it is a relative to the seahorse.

Check on google, they really are quite remarkable...

Octapus uses the different camouflages it's skin undergoes to escape and to kill it's prey.

Grouper fish, puffer fish, octapuss. There's three.

Octopus change color instantly. Many shells on the reef have camouflage colors and some are covered with marine growth to blend in. Many species of marine tube-worms are undetectable during the day light hours, however, at night they open and display a variety of colors.

flounder live around coral reefs and they lay on teh floor and blend in with teh sand. clownfish use their stripes to blend in with anenomes(sp?) Some types of eels can blend in with th rocks they live in. Octopuses and squid can beldn in with their backrounds too. Squids change color and so do octopuses. scorpionfish look kind of like some coral or a plant. A type of Goby blends in with coral trees. Pipefish look like long thin leaves. And a type of seahorse belnds in with the sand and rocks on the floor.

here look at this website...http://www.reefimages.com/camouflage/cam...

it show a bunch of examples. just click on teh pictures and it tells you what they are!

good luck!

It is not an animal it is a sea creature, the octopus changes its colour to match its surroundings thus camouflaged from its prey.

One animal that lives in a coral reef and is camoflagued is the Tiger Fish, if a human was to step on one the fish would release a toxic chemical into the humans skin, however theses fish are so common they can probably be found at your local pet store.

Octopus,asumes the colors of the backgound or sprays a cloud of ink to escape under.

I'm going to say coral, as it is a living creature, and its camouflaged as itself !

Lance has them just about covered. The most common is probably the clownfish as for it hides among the anemonies. Then there is the octopus, and the rockfish, I believe there are puffers as well. Many, many creatures and it is too many to name here. Just do a search on coral reefs and see what you return.
