Nice shot! It actually got the cardinal fish. I thought it missed, but after a second look at the video, there was another cardinal fish down below that was sucked in by the scorpion fish.

If you do get stuck. Just apply hot water. There toxin is a protein and it breaks down from heat. Never put your hand in cold water I know I got hit from one years ago and put hand in ice chest. three hours of it getting worse I called my Doctor, You fing idiot go run hot water over the hand. 5 minutes later pain was completely gone, Live and learn.

Did the same thing after being stung by a Stingray. Live and learn but, unfortunately, no such deal as the pain being completely gone with a Stingray. Stingray pain and swelling sticks with one a long, long time. I learned to sleep for several days holding my hand (which looked like a softball with 5 sausages attached) over my head to ease the throbbing.

I think this one goes back about 10yrs or so. I was testing a 100mm macro lens and this scorpionfish provided full cooperation.
Cheers,

Saw this albino humpback scorpionfish in Lembeh a few years ago.
