Player Scorpionfish Depths of 15 to 480'. Heavy, stout head and body often with numerous skin flaps. Can pale, darken and change color to blend with the background. Common Gulf of California and Pacific Coast of Baja to Panama. Solitary, inhabit rocky, boulder-strewn/gravel-strewn slopes and wall ledges camouflaging with surroundings. Ambush predators lie motionless waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass near their large mouths. Even when divers approach they remain still, relying on camouflage. Move only when closely approached or if molested. The spines of the dorsal fin are venomous and can cause a painful wound. | |
