I have dozens of different photos of these fish and I'm still not sure about the difference between Stonefish and Scorpionfish. Taken near Grande Baie, Mauritius.

You're welcome. I think the unstated goal of everyone who loves to dive is to entice other people to try it.

Nice pic, was there in December, awesome place. And agreed lol, I thought the stonefish is smaller but I'm not really sure where I learned that?

Mauritius is a great place to visit and to dive.

The description on Google says something like, one resembles a stone and one looks more like a fish. It didn't help much.
