What type of fish?

[Elitehunter1]

Can anyone give me some suggestions on a fish I encountered. It was in hawaii while snorkeling. It was about 5 inches and resembled a lion fish or scorpion fish except for the color. It was the color of algae. Like green and brown. It matched the rock perfectly, except when it moved the bottom of his fins were orange. Suggestions?

Ok googles the stonefish. That was it, and thank god I didn't step on it lol! Does any place sell them that you know of?

my fish store I buy from has them... But they are just relatively basic in color (white,brown,camo).. I was told they are slightly aggressive and can sting other fish

How much do they sell them for?
