Scorpionfishes, gurnards & sculpins

574 species · 25 families

Scorpionfishes, gurnards and sculpins are bottom dwellers with a large, armoured head and often venomous spines in the fins. Many are masters of camouflage, blending with rock, coral or sand while lying in wait for prey. Gurnards “walk” over the bottom on separate, finger-like fin rays and make grunting sounds. Notorious members are the lionfish and the deadly venomous stonefish. It is a diverse group to treat with respect: don’t step on or grab them carelessly.
