The area has many small scorpionfish at night but this stands out as different. As it is less than 3 cm long, it is much smaller than others, so I have always assumed it may have been a juvenile Maxillicosta scabriceps but is substantially different in appearance

There is a small area of Isolated reef in 24 to 32 metres depth, 20 kilometres SW of the Dawesville cut. This area is on the fringes of the Leeuwin current. The Squirrelfish photographed was solo and also my only observation in Perth waters
