Hey SB,
So I've been finding these little guys during my dives in Vietnam.
They are always, ALWAYS hidden inside of corals (most of the type a specific species of coral) alongside red spotted coral crabs.
To me, their body shape resembles other scorpionfish of this region but so far I have not been able to find any info on them.
Anybody got a hunch?

Forgot to mention they are usually in groups of three or more in one coral.
and are aprox 3inches in length.
Some kind of rockcod maybe?
