Leaf scorpionfish.

First I didn't see well what DM Dani is trying to catch on the bottom. It was big horseshoe crab!

Then he put it back to sandy bottom. Strange creature. Living fossil.I have seen horseshoe crab only ones before and it was also here in Puerto Princesa. Now it was first time when I saw it under water.
