![]() Scorpionfish (Family Scorpaenidae) Scorpionfishes lie motionless on the bottom, their colour and body shape mimicking rocks and other innocuous objects. They suck up unwary fish that come within range by suddenly snapping open their huge mouths. They have poisonous spines in their dorsal fins, which cause pain but not death. |
