Scorpionfish from Lembeh

Looking to find an ID for this guy in the attached photo. Photo taken by Leslie North in Lembeh Strait.

thanks for any clues!

From what I can see of it, I would guess it is a Dwarf Lionfish, Dendrochirus brachypterus.

You know, I think you might be right. I looked at that previously, but the photos I was comparing with didn't match very well on some of the attributes. But I've found a photo of one that is very close.

thanks,

Linda

That is the first thing i thought of as well. Got any shots of more of the fish>?
