Common name: Scorpionfish

Scorpaenopsis is a genus of fish in the family Scorpaenidae, known for their venomous spines and ability to blend into their surroundings. Members of this genus are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their unique appearance, which includes a well-camouflaged body with intricate patterns and often frilly appendages. They are ambush predators, lying in wait for prey to pass by before striking. Hobbyists should handle them with care due to their venomous spines, which can cause painful stings. These fish require a well-structured aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a diet of meaty foods.
