The species occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from Red Sea to the Seychelles (Seychelles confirmed by own reseach) and to Taiwan and Guam in outer cleat-water reef slopes and channels in a depth range from shallow to 35m, max. length 36cm, common 30cm. \nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia \n4°2'33.036 S 134°14'12.858 E at 5m depth$

This bearded scorpionfish (Scorpaenopsis barbata: 20 cms.) was depending on its remarkable camouflage for protection. It blended in with the reef so well that it was difficult to detect. Its confidence was enhanced further by its highly venomous spines, which could inflict exceedingly painful wounds. It did not move, even when I was very near, which facilitated close-up photography. An ambush predator, it relied on passing small fish not noticing it, thereby enabling their ingestion with a very fast strike.
