Lionfish is an exotic and venomous marine variety of fishes, mostly found in Coral Reefs of Indo-Pacific Ocean and Red Sea available in different colors and varieties.

- Their size can range from 5 to 15 inches according to their variety and age.
Lionfish look like birds in the water, because of the beautiful, colorful and feather-like FINS. But, beauty can be deceptive and dangerous. Unlike birds, the Lionfishes use their FINS for attacking their prey and defend from their predators. This weapon helps them survive in the Wild seas.
