  Lionfishes
Scorpaeniform fishes occur in a wide array of colors, shapes, and crypsis.
For aquarists that take the time to research exactly where their specimen comes from on the reef, the rewards can be rich in observing not only initial transformations of color and pattern to exploit their cryptic evolution… but possibly even the growth of (more) elaborate appendages and extensions, as with leafy and weedy species.
That is to say, while they are highly predatory and most will snap at anything small enough to ingest (and some things that are not!), their long term health and survival in captivity is crucially dependant on finding or being offering the right kinds of food to satisfy their specific nutritional needs.

 Sea robins of the genus Prionotus
The order Scorpaeniformes is sometimes listed as a suborder of Perciformes in older literature (Bond 1979).
In most current phylogenies, Scorpaeniformes are shown as a sister group to Perciformes and Pleuronectiformes.
All Prionotus species share the feature characteristic of Scorpaeniformes: a suborbital stay formed by the second suborbital and typically crossing the cheek just under the skin from the orbit to the preopercle (Bond 1979).
