A scorpionfish with a mound of anemones and sponges in the background


This scorpionfish didn’t quite know what to make of the monstrous ROV sitting immediately in front of it and posed quite nicely for a photograph. Its brilliant color sets off the more muted hues associated with the mound of anemones and sponges in the background. Image courtesy of University of Alabama and NOAA OE.
