- Weeverfishe is the common name for the members of trachinidae family. The family has 9 species and 4 of them can be found in the mediterranean sea. They are all venomous and you can be hit if you stand on them. Once, as I was trying to take photos of an anemone with 2-3 weevers around it, one of them tried to frighten me by swimming to the surface.-Photo 1 is a Trachinus draco weever of about 25cm long and photo 2 is about 5cm long.
-Photo 3 is a Trachinus radiatus of about 30 cm long.
-Photos 4 and 5 were taken accidentaly as i was taking photos of the gasteropods feeding on that piece of squid, a weever appeared! I can't understand with what exact purpose.
