Common name: Scorpionfish

The Scorpaenidae family, commonly known as Scorpionfish, Lionfish, and Stonefish, includes some of the most visually striking and venomous fish found in the marine aquarium trade. Members of this family are known for their elaborate camouflage and potent venomous spines, which they use for defense. They are generally slow-moving and rely on their ability to blend into their surroundings to catch prey. Hobbyists appreciate them for their unique appearance and behavior, but they require careful handling due to their venomous nature. They are best suited for experienced aquarists with a well-established tank.
