Clearfin Turkeyfish [Pterois radiata]
Description
The Clearfin Turkeyfish is a striking sight, with translucent-looking fin edges that catch the light as it swims. Divers often encounter it cruising along reef slopes or hovering in open water near structure, where its slow, controlled movements and bold markings make it feel almost “floating” through the scene.
