Scorpionfish and Rockfish, or Scorpaenidae, are often armed with toxic stingers, especially the Stonefish and Lionfish within this family.

If you are stung by these fish it's recommended to immediately soak the affected area in hot water as the toxin is heat reactive. If the individual is thought to be allergic, medical attention should be immediately sort. It's rare to die from a sting from these fish, even the most toxic, the Stonefish.
