One animal that lives in a coral reef and is camoflagued is the Tiger Fish, if a human was to step on one the fish would release a toxic chemical into the humans skin, however theses fish are so common they can probably be found at your local pet store.

flounder live around coral reefs and they lay on teh floor and blend in with teh sand. clownfish use their stripes to blend in with anenomes(sp?) Some types of eels can blend in with th rocks they live in. Octopuses and squid can beldn in with their backrounds too. Squids change color and so do octopuses. scorpionfish look kind of like some coral or a plant. A type of Goby blends in with coral trees. Pipefish look like long thin leaves. And a type of seahorse belnds in with the sand and rocks on the floor. here look at this website...http://www.reefimages.com/Camouflage/camouflage_index.html it show a bunch of examples. just click on teh pictures and it tells you what they are! good luck!

Octopus change color instantly. Many shells on the reef have camouflage colors and some are covered with marine growth to blend in. Many species of marine tube-worms are undetectable during the day light hours, however, at night they open and display a variety of colors.

Octapus uses the different camouflages it's skin undergoes to escape and to kill it's prey.

What about a leafy sea dragon (I think they live in coral reefs) they are camouflaged to look like sea weed. I believe it is a relative to the seahorse. Check on google, they really are quite remarkable...

Cuttlefish can camouflage themselves against any background. I saw a show on PBS ("NOVA") about them. Fascinating little critters!

way to go

stingrays, many kinds of fish

Betrayed and Insane

I'll say a seahorse
