About this work

Common lionfish (Pterois miles), Temple, Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The common lionfish grows up to 35 cm (14 in) in length and is mainly nocturnal and hides in crevices during the daytime. It feeds on fish and small crustaceans and it has few predators, probably because of its venomous spines, but larger lionfish do prey on smaller ones. Its dorsal fin has 13 long strong spines that are highly venomous and have caused death to humans in some reported cases.
