Description
The devil firefish (Pterois miles) inhabits muddy coastal waters in warm regions. It is a nocturnal hunter that feeds on crustaceans and small fish. The long spines sprouting from the devil firefish's fins are highly venomous. Their main function is to ward off predators, but they have been known to cause death in humans who accidentally touch or step on the fish.
