FBname: Weedy scorpionfish
Comments: Found in rich soft-bottom habitats in current prone channels (Ref. 48635);  also in rocky or coralline habitats near algae where it camouflages itself.  Hunts prey at night like other species of scorpaenids, feeding on fish and small invertebrates. Solitary among corals, rocks and weeds (Ref 90102).
