A strange-looking fish discovered on Llandudno Beach has sparked widespread curiosity after photographs of the unusual marine creature were shared on social media, with many beachgoers asking a simple question: What is it?
The fish has been identified as a scorpionfish, more specifically a false stonefish, also commonly known as the devil scorpionfish (Scorpaenopsis diabolus).
While its appearance may seem bizarre, marine experts say it is a remarkable master of camouflage, blending almost perfectly into rocky reefs and sandy seabeds.
This natural disguise allows it to ambush unsuspecting prey while also protecting it from predators.
