Pteroidichthys amboinensis, the Ambon scorpionfish, is a scorpionfish native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.

Description

The Ambon scorpionfish is shaggy, and can change its color for the ideal camouflage. It has a wide head with a large mouth, and large pectoral fins.

Distribution and habitat

The Ambon scorpionfish lives just offshore on the bottom of the ocean. The oceans in which it lives include: coasts on the west pacific, such as Australia and Fiji, coasts on the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Yellow Sea.

Behavior

The Ambon scorpionfish is an ambush predator. It will camouflage itself, wait for some prey to come close in front of itself, and then lunge forward and inhale the prey.

They have poisonous spikes on their back that they raise when threatened. The spikes are on the back, head, and around the eyes. They can cause death.
