« Philippines, Sabang Beach, White Frog Fish | Main | Crinoid and a Nudibranch (Sea Jewel), Pacific Ocean »
One of my favorite fish. They are called Lion Fish, Fire Fish and Scorpion Fish.
The family is Scorpaenidae. This fellow is called a Red Fire Fish. Another book calls
him a Feathered Lionfish. Whatever you call him just do not touch him.
Wounds very from bee sting like to unbelievable agony.
Great detail in this picture. Shot with a 100mm macro and 20D Canon.
