Weedy scorpionfish
The weedy scorpionfish is a marine fish with a body covered in weed-like, fleshy tentacles. It lives on the seabed in the Indian and Western Pacific Oceans, usually at depths of 13 to 90 metres. It is rare in the wild and highly prized by aquarium keepers.1

怎麼認出牠
- Highly compressed (flattened from side to side) body covered in weed-like, fleshy tentacles1
- Between 9 and 24 tentacles on the lower jaw, with more tentacles below the eyes and along the flanks1
- Colour is very variable, but all individuals have numerous circular, dark-margined spots1
- Two small black spots on the soft-rayed part of the dorsal fin1
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

小知識
Pairs of this fish are often seen with R. eschmeyeri, and it has been suggested that the two are the different sexes of one species.1
Its colour varies greatly. Newly introduced fish have been known to change colour when a group of a different colour is already present.1
It rarely swims. Instead, it moves along the bottom by propelling itself with its fins.1
It is a rare but highly desirable fish in the aquarium trade, and most specimens are exported to the west.1
It is difficult to identify in the wild, and it is extremely hard to wean captive fish onto prepared food.1
