Ambon Scorpionfish, Lembeh Strait, Indonesia

[Eskimo1973]

Cute... erm, intersting indeed! They are mighty poisonous and can kill a human but I've also heard locals say that you just have to treat a wound by just putting warm (40 degrees celsius or any warmer you can take) water to it and see a doctor. I'd rather avoid getting stung but saw my guide touching them. Yup, I'm impressed by these odd looking creatures. Dive Indonesia and you're bound to see more than you expected. Almost evrything dwells there!
