Why stonefish has a lumpy body?
Simply to provide camouflage. A stonefish gave up the ability to swim fast long ago in the evolutionary chain in favor of a strong venom (injected by spines in the dorsal fin) and the appearance of a stone on the ocean floor. That is why a stonefish has a lumpy body, and is grey, mostly featureless, and best left alone. Answered by PHYSICSguru

Why would a fish look like a rock?
Camouflage. Many animals use camouflage to enable them to blend in with their environment. If they are prey, they are hiding from predators. If they are predators, they employ camouflage so that they may sneak up on their prey. Fish are no different. Stonefish, for example, cannot swim quickly, so they camouflage to look like a rock in their surroundings in order to fool potential predators.
Stonefish a predator or prey?
Stonefish, although some could classify it as being prey, is actually a predator known as an ambush predator using camouflage to blend in to the ocean floor...although some species have the ability to live in rivers. As it is a carnivorous fish, and one of the most venomous, it simply has to lie upon the ocean floors or reefs and wait for some prey to swim upon it, thinking it to be a rock, and then the stonefish simply bites down on them, making them quite an effective predator based on its rock-like camouflage.
