  • Lionfish are voracious predators belonging to the scorpionfish family.  The distinctly striped fish uses its long venomous and often feathered fins in such as a way that they appear almost memorising.  Once a prey is sighted, the lionfish will slowly approach and then at the last minute open its cavernous mouth and dart forward with amazing speed.  The opening of the mouth and movement creates a vacuum which sucks into the mouth any unsuspecting prey.  All fifteen species of lionfish (Pterois sp) are venomous
