Flasher scorpionfish Profile

The Flasher scorpionfish (Scorpaenopsis macrochir) is primarily brown, adorned with numerous dark spots and patches that provide camouflage among its natural reef habitat. Originating from the Indo-West Pacific region, this scorpionfish possesses a distinct appearance characterized by its flat, wide body, and venomous spiny fins. It blends seamlessly with its surroundings, making it a master of camouflage. Despite its intriguing appearance and venomous traits, the Flasher scorpionfish is not particularly well-known or common within the aquarium hobby, largely due to its specialized care requirements and potentially dangerous venom.
