FBname: Sawcheek scorpionfish
Comments: Lives in muddy habitat that are very sheltered and this is usually deep or very sheltered estuaries.  Appears to be one of the more primitive forms and has similar coloration to some members of the genus <i>Scorpaenodes</i>, especially the markings on the head (Ref. 48635).  Sometimes caught by trawl net (Ref. 559).
