Underwater image of one Lionfish aka Zebrafish (Pterois volitans). These fish have venom in their spiny spiky fins. They are a non aggressive species, often seen low on the coral reef. However if they are provoked they will use the venom to ward off attackers. Their red and white stripes are warning colours for the toxins (Aposematism). They are natural species to Asia however are invasive species in the Caribbean. Footage taken whilst scuba diving at Hin Bida, Andaman Sea, Krabi province, Thailand.

$Pterois antennata, like many fish species, has very different common names like Broadbarred Firefish and Spotfin Lionfish. The species occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from East Africa to Marquesan and Mangaréva Islands, north to southern Japan, south to Queensland, Australia, Kermadec and Austral Islands in a depth range from 2-86m in lagoon and seaward reefs, hiding in crevices under rocks and coral formations during the day and hunting at night, feeding on shrimps and crabs, max. length 20cm. \nThis specimen is inbetween Whip Coral Ellisella sp. at the left and Black Coral at the right side. The outline of this fish is visually disturbed by the numerous spiny projections and fleshy tabs improving camouflage by mimicking the Banded Sea Urchin Echinothrix calamaris.\nTriton Bay, Kaimana Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia, 3°53'24.4657 S 134°6'34.0173 E at 20m depth$

$Common Lionfish Pterois volitans inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs from turbid inshore areas to depths of 50 m, max. length 38cm. Often solitary, they hide in unexposed places at daytime often with head down and practically immobile, using the pattern for camouflage as a hunting skill. The species has recently invaded Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, and may become one of the most ecologically harmful marine fish introductions to date. The dorsal fins are venomous, but it is a popular table fish.
