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.
