Lionfish Red

Lionfish

Lionfish are venomous marine ray-finned fish of the genus Pterois, native to coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific. They are prolific coral fish characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red or black bands and ostentatious dorsal fins tipped with venomous spines, which are their primary anti-predator defense. Pterois radiata, Pterois volitans and Pterois miles are the most commonly studied species in the genus. Pterois species are popular aquarium fish. P. volitans and P. miles are recent and significant invasive species in the west Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea.
