Short description
Body color can be dull yellow, grey, brown or rusty with light spots and is very similar to the color of the surrounding sandy or coral seabed in which they live. The skin is scaleless except on the lateral line, and is covered with poisonous spines and warty glands that give it a knobby appearance. The head is flattened, depressed and concave. The eyes, mouth and nostrils project upward and outward from the dorsal side of the head.
