This unusual Scorpionfish was extremely well camouflaged, the red only appearing so bright when the flash was used. It had an extraordinary long tail.

Thanks Xiaoxuan!
Not sure what species
It's a sculpin/ scorpeonfish
it's beautiful!
Could it be a whole different species? Interesting!
Maybe, also the fact that it sat on the bottom - more like a scorpionfish than a lionfish, but the fins are very lionfish like!
It sure is unusually slender. Maybe it's a mutant, or malnourished...?
wow, nice one,
