So how about the Speckled Scorpionfish? (Sebastapistes coniorta) How common are they?

Thanks rgbmatt! No mention in the Hoover Books! Nice shot Ken!

I'm thinking mine were "Dwarf Scorpionfish" Sebastapistes fowleri
based on some pictures on this site: http://www.marinelifephotography.com/fishes/scorpionfishes/scorpionfishes.htm

I would agree... Dwarf Scorpion fishes...
