The night active Lion Fish - Pterois volitans - may be looked upon as possably one of the most beautiful fishes in our coralseas. By day it is staying under overhangs or caves with sluggish changes, but already at dawn will hunt for smaller fishes and cancers. With its surfaced breast-fins it perfectly brings its victims to bay before sooking them up in a flash. His venomous fin-spines will cause painful wounds, sickness up to breathing problems and paralysis. The Lion Fish belongs to the family of the scorpionfishes.
