Thanks Paul!! - Scorpion Fish (Scorpaena Porcus)

Port Charlotte fisherman Paul Rennie and his crew have brought us pehaps the best collection of sea creatures we have ever had for our tanks to get us going this year.  Many thanks to him.  The tanks look really good because the water is so clear.  Getting clear water for the tanks is very difficult as there is usually some turbulence near the shore but we certainly seem to have hit the jackpot this year...

This spectacular specimen is a Scorpion fish (Scorpaena porcus).  Their spines are poisonous and will give you a nasty sting if you tread on one...
