Image of: Pterois (lionfishes, turkeyfishes, and zebrafishes)
ADW: Lionfish.jpg
Location
Luzon Island, Philippines
Caption
Lionfish (Pterois species, this one is around 7 inches in length) are among the more toxic predators of the reef-- their dorsal fins (top along spine) are hollow barbs capable of injection poisonous venom into a predator unfortunate enough to approach too closely. Typically they assume a fanned-out, fins-erect posture when approached by a potential predator such as a diver, pointing the dorsal fins toward the threat.
