Help me ID this scorpionfish please

This fish was (most probably) mislabeled as Antennarius sp. in an import from Sri Lanka. I would appreciate some help to identify it. After a few hours of surfing, I now know that there are houndreds of species of Scorpionfish . If I at least could get the Genus right it would be easier to meet its needs (diet, living space etc.) and for my own peace of mind get an idea of how venomous this little guy is. Its lenght is about 4 inch or 10 cm. Here are some photos:

Go to fishbase.org and type in Antennarius in the place where you can search for Genus. It will bring up all the species. Start clicking links and looking at pictures.
