I don't understand why Google says "Chassahowitzka NWR." The sign on the way in clearly says "Withlacoochee State Forest."

Yellow Stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis)Observer
cryptocoryneDescription
He was lurking not far from "Grecian Rocks," a shallow "reef" frequented by the John Pennekamp snorkel tour boats.
I say "reef" in quatation marks because there doesn't look like there is a lot of coral there; it is more a coral graveyard where sponges and macroalgae thrive now.

He blends in with the stump pretty well. Maybe he is not called a stump or tree lizard because he is much easier to see when on a fence?
