It may be wise to say this fish is extremely venomous.

this fish is extremely venomous! but only if you are dumb enough to step on it (which would be hard to do in your tank) or maybe push your hand down on it so hard that you would break one of his spines off in you, but seriously if you did do one of those things you would have to go to the hospital to get anti venom. i never have had any trouble or read about anyone having them as pets that had any trouble with them. but i am sure there is some moron out there that has gotten hurt by it - hahaha there is always someone - he is super cool - seth i would think he would need a 90 to go into. i actually put him in with my eels and seems ok in there, but its kind of crowded in there so i am still selling him. enough errors in this sentence?

livesworks, i would be glad to show you howto post pics of your stuff man, not saying i can or want the stone fish, but just for future use, sites like www.photobucket.com are real easy to use and are a great tool when trying to sell things and post pictures of your stuff. Give me a holla sumtime when you have some free time after 6 someday and i could probably run you through it.

Rock fish

Rock fish

Rock fish are sometimes also known as "Scorpion fish" (due to the potential spiny dorsal fin sting) though there are several species around the world. They resemble the face of a beard dragon on a fish and look like a demonized goby / blenny, able to change body colors and patterns almost like a octopus. On a small one you can look right at it and almost miss it as part of the live rock or sand. As anglers they tend to sit under ledges, caves or burrough under rocks edges and wait for food to pass within range. Would not be your typical fish to have use caution with him, like he said it might be hard to get zapped by him but be careful reaching under and grabbing rocks!

thanks for posting soundsfishy - he is super cool! are you looking to buy or just warn people against buying like i did earlier?

Just informational. He's not your everyday fish and wanted to let people know a little more about them. Not so much a warning because we (reef keepers) keep all sorts of things in the tank that can cause injury, many corals can sting. Some zoo's for example can be very harsh if you have a small cut or open cuticle on your nail.. (another good reason not to bite your nails)

If I correctly understood what I read online, the sting of the rock fish is like a wasp (IF you some how managed to get spined.)
