Scorpaenodes barrybrowniis a new pretty little species of scorpionfish from the deepwaters of the Caribbean Sea. Discovered in Dominica by theCurasub，新描述Scorpaenodes barrybrowniis named in honor of Barry Brown, a member of team Curasub and the primary photographer of many of the new species that the team has discovered over the last several years.
The new deepwater scorpionfish is small and attractive, with a beautiful delicate red base coloration with complimentary yellow ornamentation to the pectoral fins.Scorpaenodes barrybrowniis closely related to two other species of dwarf scorpionfish ofScorpaenodes，也来自西大西洋的深水。
天蝎座tredecimspinosushas a more pronounced and deeper red coloration over much of its body, punctuated by few small white patches. MeanwhileScorpaenodes carribeausis more of an olive green overall, also with yellow colored pectoral fins but with much more of a spotted pattern over much of its body.
深层生活Scorpaenodes barrybrownihas a definite ‘plectranthias‘ look to it, but as pretty as this species is, since it was caught at depths of 95 to 160 meters (311 to 525 feet), there’s going to be very few specimens of this species that are ever brought to the surface.
The newest species of reef fish to be officially minted is described by Baldwin, Pitassy & Robertson in the2016年7月的Zookeys卷.
