Scorpaena notata

Rafinesque, 1810


Susana Martins What about this scorpion fish? I would say Scorpaena notata but this eye is just to weird... Has anyone seen something similar?

João Pedro Silva Could you post a detail of the eye? Could be an injury.

Raffaele Livornese Scorpaena notata Nikon D90, Nikkor 60mm, F/18, 1/125sec., Iso 100, 2xInon Z240 Banco di S.Croce, Castellammare, Italy

Rob Maller Nice pic Raffaele!

Raffaele Livornese Thank you, Rob.....:-))

Chris Spence Beautiful subject.......if I had a comment I would have maybe had a little more light on the face. Most of the light is at the back which is out of focus!

Raffaele Livornese You're right, Chris, unfortunally on the right side was a little rock, and I had no more time to change the strobe position...:-))) Thank you!! :-))

Chris Spence Still lovely sharp focus on the face!

João Pedro Silva Anilocra physodes is an isopod crustacean from the Atlantic and Mediterranean which parasites several species of fish. The legs are converted into hooks to better hang on to their host. They're often found in pairs, a male and a female being the latter larger. Depending on the host, they can be more difficult to photograph. In this case, a scorpionfish (Scorpaena notata) makes it a lot easier as it rarely moves.
