14 million year old scorpionfish fossils

Scorpion fish is one of the most venomous and inconspicuous fish species in the ocean. These ambushing predators are experts in integrating into the environment, sitting patiently at the top of coral reefs waiting for unsuspecting prey to swim over. The color of scorpionfish ranges from dull brown and yellow to bright red and orange, perfectly matching the surrounding coral and even exhibiting feather like fins or flaps to better camouflage with neighboring corals.
