Red Lion Fish, Pterois volitans, Scorpaenidae. A Venomous Reef Fish from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Introduced into tropical east Atlantic coastal waters, where it has rapidly increased in numbers. All of the spines on a lionfish are venomous, creating a danger primarily to divers and fishermen if stung. Although there have been no known fatalities caused by lionfish stings, they are reportedly extremely painful.
