    I don't think it is a stonefish either, the Scorpaena brasiliensis is the most similar (like cworkman suggested) but i can't find any other pics that look as similar as the one he posted.

    and they are found all around here in Florida

    YAY! now you can brag to your friend that you have the deadliest fish in the world. and when they say your full of ****. you can give them a couple beers and try to get them to catch it with their hand. lol. thats what i would do. and since im not a total jerk i would warn the hospital ahead of time.

    well he is still a very cool looking fish! I think scorpions look cooler anyway! Dont get stung by them either which way.....some of the scorpions are just as poisonous....they are all venomous. Like I said my Ambon scorpion is supposed to be able to kill young kids or old people....

    so no petting the new fishey!!!;D
