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