Hairy Rhinopias (Rhinopias frondosa)Overview
The Hairy Rhinopias, also known as the Weedy Scorpionfish, is one of the most sought-after and spectacular marine fish in the world. Its elaborate frilly appendages, bold colors, and mesmerizing camouflage make it a true centerpiece for display or collector aquariums. Slow-moving and full of character, this rare ambush predator is prized by experienced aquarists for its beauty and unique behavior.
OriginFound across the Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and northern Australia, Rhinopias frondosa inhabits sandy or rubble bottoms near coral reefs, blending perfectly into its surroundings to ambush unsuspecting prey.
FeedingA carnivorous ambush predator that feeds primarily on small fish and crustaceans. It often requires live foods such as shrimp or small fish initially but can be trained to accept frozen meaty foods like silversides, krill, or mysis once acclimated. Feed every 1–2 days.
Tank MatesBest housed with peaceful, larger tank mates that are too big to be eaten—such as tangs, angels, or larger wrasses. Avoid aggressive species and small fish or shrimp, which will be viewed as prey.
AggressionPeaceful and sedentary. The Hairy Rhinopias spends most of its time resting on the substrate, relying on camouflage and stealth rather than aggression.
Experience LevelRecommended for advanced aquarists. This rare species requires excellent water quality, careful feeding management, and a quiet environment to thrive.
