This spotted scorpionfish (Scorpaena plumieri) is well camouflaged between the fire coral (Millepora alcicornis), barnacles, red encrusting sponge, and chicken liver sponge (Chondrilla nucula). This is a fish that is often overlooked, although divers should really be on the look out for, as they have nasty spines on their dorsal fins. They are most often seen at Stetson Bank (as seen here).
