Synanceia verrucosa is a famous stinging fish, and because of its rock-like appearance, they are commonly known as "stone fish". The rose squid usually lives in coral reefs, lying motionless on the bottom of the sea with its reef-like appearance, waiting for the small fish to fall, and then opening its mouth to swallow them. The dorsal fin spines of the rose squid are highly toxic, severe in the spines can cause shock, and if the fin spines are not cut in advance, they have certain dangers when harvesting and handling. However, some fish, such as gymnothorax sp., are good predators of rose squid. The naked-breasted eel will swallow the rose squid from the head, so that under physical pressure, the scorpion's fin spines will fall down without stabbing the naked-breasted eel. Humans will also eat rose poison scorpion, rose poison scorpion meat is delicious, is a high-grade edible fish, so in some seafood markets in the south of China, rose poison scorpion is very common.
