Lacy scorpionfish
The lacy scorpionfish is a small, strange-looking reef fish that lies still on the seabed and looks like weed or sponge. It lives in the western Pacific, and it is rare. Its camouflage makes it hard to spot, even for divers.1

怎麼認出牠
- Two black spots sit in the membrane between the sixth and eighth rays of the dorsal fin.1
- The dorsal fin spines are rigid, with strongly pointed tips.1
- It has 12 to 18 tentacles under the lower jaw, 2 to 4 below the eyes, and many on the flanks above the lateral line.1
- Long, branched tentacles grow on the supraocular and rear lacrimal spines.1
- Adults have 16 or 17 pectoral-fin rays.1
常被誤認為: Three related species, R. argoliba, R. cea and R. xenops, lack the two black spots on the dorsal fin. R. eschmeyeri and R. frondosa have soft, fleshy fin membranes, while this species does not.1
毒液力量
尖銳的棘刺帶著毒液。踩到或抓到牠都會很痛。
牠對人有多危險?
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。
如果牠的棘刺刺到你
- 把傷口泡在熱水裡,水溫要在傷者能忍受、又不會燙傷的範圍內(先用你自己的手試水溫),泡 30 到 90 分鐘。要就醫,特別是被石頭魚和魟魚刺傷時。
一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識
注意安全
- 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
- 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
- 如果被牠的棘刺刺到:保持冷靜,保持不動,打緊急電話(112、000、911)或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子,有照片會很有幫助。
牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己,而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識

跟 8 塊玩具積木排成一排一樣長

小知識
It pumps water through tubes above its gill covers, which makes the tentacles on its dorsal fin quiver like swaying algae.1
Instead of swimming, it moves by "walking" and "hopping", powered by its pelvic and pectoral fins.1
It is very reluctant to leave the seafloor, and usually just lies on the bottom and rocks gently from side to side.1
It is a much sought-after fish in the aquarium trade.1
