When you hear such a magnificent name as "Rose Poison Scorpion", do you think of a beautiful and colorful fish like a rose, but inside is a ruthless and murderous killer?
The name of the rose scorpion is indeed derived from its bright colors and thorny body, but it is extremely ugly. However, this deformed and terrifying shell became its best disguise. It hides under a rock reef, and its body color changes with the environment, which can be called a chameleon on the seabed. Like a plain reef, it can stand by the rabbit and attack quickly when the prey is approaching, and its excellent camouflage also makes it the name "stone fish".
At the bottom of the algae-infested reef at 18°C to 25°C, there is an inconspicuous danger lurking. If someone accidentally steps on it, the Rose Scorpion will immediately fight back. Its back like a needle back can not only penetrate the soles of people's feet, but also emit neurotoxins outwards, causing low blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, edema, and heavy breathing and circulatory failure, and even death. China is still developing anti-venoms against its toxins, so we must be more careful at the seaside, and we need to pay more attention to whether there are rose poisonous scorpions living on the reef.
Although even sea snakes that are more poisonous than king cobras have to avoid rose squid for three points, this does not prevent humans from preying on rose squid. Rose poison scorpion is extremely delicious, has no fine spines, and has a high nutritional value. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that the stone fish can treat muscle and bone pain and use the warmth to replenish the weakness. What a deadly delicacy!
