My folks own a condo in St. Augustine which we plan to go to this month, I may have to stop by on the way back and check this place out!

Wow, hey that's a fish I've always wanted. Always!
Jay Hemdal recently listed fish with a bad track record in captivity. Scorps were not on the list even though they don't have a great track record. Anglers were on the list with the cause of death fatty liver disease. I realize anglers are not scorps but your scorp and anglers have similar feeding habits. What I'm getting at is, I wonder if fatty liver disease is common in scorps like yours after being in captivity. If so, would the solution be to keep them a little hungry and only feed the right food? Jay Hemdal might be a good person to reach out to.
Good luck, I love that fish.

@RC79ATC, congrats on the find! i have admired that fish for many a time online, but just don't have the space for a dedicated tank.
