$Zebra Lionfish or Zebra Turkeyfish Dendrochirus zebra occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to Samoa, north to southern Japan and the Ogasawara Islands, south to Australia and Lord Howe Island in a depth range from 0-115m, max. length 25cm. \nThis scorpionfish species has 13 venomous spines along its back, used to defend itself. Dendrochirus zebra has a habit of resting in places hidden from light such as under a rock or a piece of coral.\nZebra Lionfishes are not the solitary predators originally described. When hunting in groups, zebra lionfish herd their prey into a confined area using their venomous dorsal spines and flaring their fins to create a barrier. The Zebra Lionfish feeds on small crustaceans and fish, and is in turn preyed upon by groupers.\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. \n1°27'15.486 N 125°13'25.578 E at 10m depth$

Underwater image of one Lionfish aka Zebrafish (Pterois volitans). These fish have venom in their spiny spiky fins. They are a non aggressive species, often seen low on the coral reef. However if they are provoked they will use the venom to ward off attackers. Their red and white stripes are warning colours for the toxins (Aposematism). They are natural species to Asia however are invasive species in the Caribbean. Footage taken whilst scuba diving at Hin Bida, Andaman Sea, Krabi province, Thailand.

$The Common Lionfish Pterois volitans inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs from turbid inshore areas to depths of 50 m of the tropical Pacific Ocean from Cocos-Keeling Islands and Western Australia in the eastern Indian Ocean to the Marquesas and Oeno (Pitcairn Group), north to southern Japan and southern Korea, south to Lord Howe Island, northern New Zealand, and the Austral Islands. Often solitary, the species hides in unexposed places at daytime often with head down and practically immobile, using the pattern for camouflage as a hunting skill. \nThe species has recently invaded Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, and may become one of the most ecologically harmful marine fish introductions to date. The dorsal fins are venomous, but it is a popular table fish. Max. length 38cm. \nThis specimen from Triton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia hides in Antipathes sp. Black coral, 3°53'24.4657 S 134°6'34.0173 E at 20m depth$
