### Sarcastic Fringehead Behaviour The Sarcastic fringehead has adapted to aggressive behavior that aids in acquiring prey and protecting its territory. They can attack anything that poses a threat to them. These fish lie silently in their shelter and wait to attack the intruder or prey. #### Defense Mechanisms: 1. **Threat Display**: They begin by threatening any intruder through: - Spreading covers of gills. - Snapping their jaws. - Head flexing. 2. **Attack**: If the initial threats fail, they proceed to attack the intruder with a gaping mouth. This behavior helps them effectively secure food and safeguard their living space.
