Small red scorpionfish — size comparison — facts and sources

The small red scorpionfish lives near the seabed in the eastern Atlantic. It chooses rocky cover and other structures where it can remain concealed. Its colour helps it blend into irregular surroundings.

It hunts crustaceans and small fish, catching prey with its broad mouth as it approaches. This feeding method allows long periods in one place between short attacks.
