The Sailfin Scorpionfish, also known as the Wasp Fish, is a master of camouflage, blending seamlessly with its surroundings on the ocean floor. Its brown and tan mottled body allows it to hide from predators and ambush prey. Known for its venomous spines, this species requires careful handling and is best suited for experienced aquarists. The Sailfin Scorpionfish has a carnivorous diet, primarily feeding on small fish and invertebrates.
