Taenianotus triacanthus

ℹ️ Overview

The Leaf scorpionfish (Taenianotus triacanthus) is a small, cryptic fish known for its leaf-like appearance, aiding in camouflage among reefs. Its body can exhibit a range of colors, including green, pink, yellow, and red, allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, this species inhabits coral reefs, where its slender body and fringed appearance mimic fallen leaves or algae. Despite its unique look, the Leaf scorpionfish is not commonly prominent in the aquarium hobby, mainly due to its specialized care requirements and a diet consisting primarily of live foods.
