- ALT1 ... that the false stonefish (pictured) uses his coloration as camouflage to ambush his prey?
- I find this fact a bit more engaging, since spines are a mechanism of defense and usually inflict nasty wounds (they are actually meant to do so). - Caribbean~H.Q. 13:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't object to ALT1, though it would require a further reference, or we could enlarge the original hook to ALT2: Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:40, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- This seems like a good source. - Caribbean~H.Q. 13:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- ALT2 ... that the spines of the false stonefish (pictured) are venomous and can inflict a painful wound?
- - date of creation, size, image verified. But why does the second ref refer to Aeoliscus punctulatus? Óðinn (talk) 05:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- Because I don't know how best to provide an url for a Google Books reference. The reference doesn't refer to Aeoliscus punctulatus but does highlight it because it was the fish species I was looking for when I found this reference and this fish was just below it on the same page. I have now replaced the url. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:38, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
