Habitat
The redskinfish generally occurs within the western areas of the Indian Ocean, along the southeastern coast of Africa.[1] It is unclear as to whether or not it lives in the Seychelles.[1] It is a reef-dwelling fish, living almost exclusively in tropical areas.[1]
Biology
The redskinfish can grow to be up to 15 cm long.[1] Like all waspfish, it is closely related to the often-dangerous scorpionfish; in spite of this, it is entirely harmless to humans (hence its generic name).[1]
gollark: I quite like this and have now put it into my RSS reader.
gollark: I guess it might be a bit tricky to normalize different spellings etc. but meh.
gollark: I don't mean they'd specify a list of tags, I mean they would just provide titles and the system would magically™ determine (implicit) categories based on like/dislikes overlap.
gollark: It could probably work to have people just provide a list of things they like and how much, and have users specify people whose preferences match theirs to some degree (and to find them automatically via any overlap they do have), and then build a recommender thing out of that.
gollark: You could autotag things if you already had enough samples of good tagging.
