Common name: Scorpionfish

The genus Scorpaena encompasses a group of venomous marine fish known for their camouflage and venomous spines. They are adept at blending into their surroundings, making them both fascinating and a potential hazard in a reef aquarium. Members of this genus, such as the popular Lionfish, are predatory and require a diet of live or frozen meaty foods. They are best suited for experienced aquarists due to their venomous nature and specific care requirements. These fish add a dramatic flair to the tank but should be kept with caution and respect for their stinging capabilities.
