The Reef Scorpion Fish, Scorpaenopsis Caribbaeus, also known as the Caribbean Scorpion fish can pack a bit of a punch with their stinging spines. Reef Scorpion Fish are bottom dwellers that feed on small crustaceans and small fish, while sometimes relying on camouflage to ambush their prey. While Scorpion Fish can indeed be venomous, many species can be suitable for the home aquarium with proper care and caution. Aquarists much take precautions while transporting to be sure not to touch the spines. They also should be housed with larger tank mates that they are unlikely to bully around.
