  1. I see you requested "Lionfish", but that's not a species, it is a genus. You have to be more specific in which kind of Lionfish this is. Posted 11 years ago
    1. Thanks. I'm fairly sure I've got it now. Posted 11 years ago

The red lionfish is a venomous coral reef fish in the family Scorpaenidae, order Scorpaeniformes. "P. volitans" is natively found in the Indo-Pacific region, but has become a huge invasive problem in the Caribbean Sea and along the East coast of the United States along with a similar species, "Pterois miles".
