Description
Red lionfish is a venomous fish species recognizable by its red and white zebra striping and its long fins and dorsal spines (which contain the venom). The species is native to Indo-Pacific reefs, but it has been established in the Atlantic ocean where it became invasive due to the lack of natural predators. Its flashy looks make it is a very popular aquarium fish.
