Purple Tassled Rhino Scorpionfish

Latin Name Rhinopias sp.
Common Name Purple Tassled Rhino Scorpionfish
Also known as Rhino Scorpion, Rhinopias Scorpionfish
Fast Facts AVAILABILITY NOTE
The Purple Tassled were $1400 and sold out, we have VERY NICE REDS and PURPLES at LESS THAN HALF the PRICE and they're JUST AS NICE! GET ONE BEFORE THEY'RE GONE AT THE BEST PRICES WE'VE EVER HAD!

To say Rhinopias are rare and popular is an understatement. Be prepared for a wait and to jump on them immediately when available! They usually sell in a matter of hours once we say "we have one".

The Holy Grail of the Scorpionfish clan, the Rhinopias are as spectacular as they are expensive. Seldom collected and much in demand, be sure to grab them fast when available. Non-aggressive, but they can swallow fishes nearly as large as they are! Don't house with curious fishes such as triggers or larger wrasses or angels, as these type fishes will likely pick at your Rhinopias as they would a sponge.
