Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish, commonly known as lionfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. It is characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red or black bands, and ostentatious dorsal fins tipped with venomous spines.
They are beautiful, though - really exotic looking things. We call them scorpion fish, although I’m not sure if the two are one and the same fish? Another wonderful capture! I’m really enjoying seeing your underwater explorations through you and the great shots you take with your camera :-) You’re amassing a superb collection of underwater captures and memories.
