Wild:
scorpionfish =same requirements as lionfish. Meat eaters. Many scorpion fish look like ground walking fish w/ lots of camoflague.
FYI scorpionfish is the common name to identify fish in the family Scorpaenidae.
The family Scorpaenidae waspfish, rhinopias, imincus (seagoblins), Turkeyfish, Scorpionfish, Zebrafish, Stonefish, Rockfish, etc.

I don't mean the large group, I mean the smaller scorpionfish group within the large group. So how does someone feed them; I don't know how to feed lionfishes either. Do they take a stick with the food on the end and let the scorpionfish lunge for it? Do they just drop the food in and wait for the scorpionfish to come for it? What kind of food do they feed? What kind of feeding stick is normally used?

My feeding stick is a simple piece of rigid airline tubing with a paper clip stuck in the end to spear the shrimp or fish that I'm using for food. I then dangle the food in front of the fishes face and try to mimic natural action as best I can.
