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. This 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.Zebra 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.This specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia. 1°27'15.486 N 125°13'25.578 E at 10m depth
