Which outcome occurs when a previously effective leafy sea dragon camouflage is disrupted by drastic algal bloom shifts?

💡 Explanation

Disrupted camouflage reduces disguise, because the background matching is lessened due to a failure of crypsis; therefore the predation rate decreases, rather than increasing evasion or affecting communication, because sea dragons rely on camouflage for ambushing prey.
