Scorpaenopsis macrochir Ogilby, 1910
Humpback scorpionfish, 13.6cm

These appear to have the humped back that characterizes S. macrochir but the IDs are not certain.

This one was found with a palm frond tied in a knot between the mouth and gill opening. With great care to avoid the venomous spines, we untied the knot and freed up the fish.
