Poss's scorpionfish

Poss's scorpionfish (Scorpaenopsis possi) is distinguished by its mottled brown and orange-red coloration, blending seamlessly with its rocky or coral reef habitats. Native to the western Pacific Ocean, this species exhibits a stocky body covered in skin flaps and spines, enhancing its camouflage. It is not particularly well-known in the aquarium hobby, largely due to its specialized care requirements and potential danger from its venomous spines.
