c mantas or huge whalesharks, sometimes divers are amazed by something much smaller
but definitely not less pretty. During the last months our divers have been able
to spot a beautiful Paper Scorpion Fish at Anemone Garden. Our little friend does
however play a game with the divers; he is continuously moving around, making it
difficult for us to predict where exactly we can find him. However we have some
truly amazing dive instructors that have been able to deliver on almost every trip
to the Anemone Garden this far.
The Paper Scorpion Fish is often found next to sponges or on top of corals, where
he can blend in with the surroundings, their length is up to 10cm. You can recognize
them by the flat body and the sailfin-like fin over the back. Colors vary highly
from white, dark purplish brown to bright yellow and pink.
