The Tentacled flathead (''Papilloculiceps longiceps'') or Crocodilefish is a member of the order Scorpaeniformes, an order which also includes the scorpionfishes and stonefishes. It is found in the Western Indian Ocean; the Red Sea. == Behaviour == They are predatory bottom-dwelling fish, using their camouflage to ambush their prey. == Description == Tentacled flatheads are mottled brown or green and grey, coloured ideally to be camouflaged with their habitat. They have eye lappets, which help to break up the outline of the iris and improve camouflage, and can reach a length of 70cm.
