Zebra Lionfish
Dendrochirus zebra
Adult zebra lionfish inhabit coral reefs, rocky slopes, and sheltered coastal habitats in warm seas. They stalk small fishes and crustaceans, cornering prey with their broad pectoral fins before swallowing it. The dorsal spines carry venom that causes painful injuries and strongly discourages predators.
