Scorpaenidae
As the name suggests, scorpionfish have a type of "sting" in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. The family is a large one, with hundreds of members. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas, but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific. Pic#1 is the close-up of the eye, showing a 'lightning' kind of look
