The genus Pteroidichthys includes the Leaf Scorpionfish, known for their remarkable camouflage and leaf-like appearance, which allows them to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. These ambush predators are relatively small and can be found in various colors, including red, yellow, brown, and green.

In the aquarium, they require live rock for hiding and a diet of live feeder shrimp or small fish to mimic their natural hunting behavior.
