Stinger

A scorpionfish, I think it is in the same family as the stonefish, but I don't recall offhand. Sat still and smiled for me.
Being able to use a flash made things much easier for the work. Set it up and to the left, with just enough power to freeze movement, but not enough to overwhelm anything. Use a shallow DOF (4 in this case) and a reasonable ISO (I had originally set it to 800, was able to tone it down to 400) and working with fish was much more rewarding than in Emerald Isle.
