$Zebra Lionfish or Zebra Turkeyfish Dendrochirus zebra occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to Samoa, north to southern Japan and the Ogasawara Islands, south to Australia and Lord Howe Island in a depth range from 0-115m, max. length 25cm. \nThis scorpionfish species has 13 venomous spines along its back, used to defend itself. Dendrochirus zebra has a habit of resting in places hidden from light such as under a rock or a piece of coral.\nZebra Lionfishes are not the solitary predators originally described. When hunting in groups, zebra lionfish herd their prey into a confined area using their venomous dorsal spines and flaring their fins to create a barrier. The Zebra Lionfish feeds on small crustaceans and fish, and is in turn preyed upon by groupers.\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. \n1°27'15.486 N 125°13'25.578 E at 10m depth$

$Common Lionfish Pterois volitans inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs from turbid inshore areas to depths of 50 m, max. length 38cm. Often solitary, they hide in unexposed places at daytime often with head down and practically immobile, using the pattern for camouflage as a hunting skill. The species has recently invaded Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, and may become one of the most ecologically harmful marine fish introductions to date. The dorsal fins are venomous, but it is a popular table fish. This specimen inbetween sponges, hydroids and soft corals is from Nailaka Island, Banda Sea, Indonesia, \n4°32'37.728 S 129°40'48.3 E at 13m depth$
