Answer:

Many fish have color patterns that help them blend in with their environment. This may allow the fish to avoid being seen by a predator. Some fish, such as the flat fishes (Pleuronectiforms) , can change their skin coloration to match the surrounding habitat. Fish can also have disruptive markings to hide body parts

Answer:

Fish found in coral reefs also have bright coloring to help with mating or camouflage. Due to the wide variety of prey found in coral reefs, the fish have developed a generalized feeding structure to take advantage of the biodiversity. Lastly sessile animals, such as coral, have adapted toxins to keep away predators.
