Thanks to a deep-diving robot, scientists have discovered a new species of scorpionfish off the coast of Curacao.

As part of the Smithsonian’s Deep Reef Observation Project, scientists found the species that can be distinguished from other scorpionfish by its bright-orange color and elongated fin rays. They named it Scorpaenodes barrybrowni after Substation Curacao and Barry Brown, a photographer who has worked extensively with the project. The newly discovered species can also be called the stellate scorpionfish for those who prefer the common name.

The stellate scorpionfish is believed to be the deepest-living member of its genus in this part of the world, taking up residence in 300-500 feet of water.

The Smithsonian’s DROP research program uses the manned submersible Curasub that can reach depths close to 1,000 feet to find new species of fish and other marine life at sites too deep for divers. The sub uses hydraulic arms to gather fish, bringing them in with a suction hose after releasing an anesthetic chemical with its other arm. DROP team members also found a new species of goby in January.
