The Red Lionfish is a predatory scorpionfish that lives on coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific Ocean and more recently in the western Atlantic. It gets its common name from its long, colorful fin rays that resemble a lionâs mane. Like in many scorpionfishes, this species has venom-filled spines in several of its fins.
