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

Underwater image of one Lionfish aka Zebrafish (Pterois volitans). These fish have venom in their spiny spiky fins. They are a non aggressive species, often seen low on the coral reef. However if they are provoked they will use the venom to ward off attackers. Their red and white stripes are warning colours for the toxins (Aposematism). They are natural species to Asia however are invasive species in the Caribbean. Footage taken whilst scuba diving at Hin Bida, Andaman Sea, Krabi province, Thailand.

Baby reef in shallow water on Red Sea / Lahami Bay. The Red Sea is a rich and diverse ecosystem. More than 1200 species of fish have been recorded in the Red Sea, and around 10% of these are found nowhere else. This also includes 42 species of deepwater fish. The rich diversity is in part due to the 2,000 km (1,240 mi) of coral reef extending along its coastline; these fringing reefs are 5000–7000 years old and are largely formed of stony acropora and porites corals. The reefs form platforms and sometimes lagoons along the coast and occasional other features such as cylinders (such as the Blue Hole (Red Sea) at Dahab). These coastal reefs are also visited by pelagic species of Red Sea fish, including some of the 44 species of shark.
