The spotfin lionfish (Pterois antennata), with venomous spines extended, is native to Indo-Pacific reefs, but has invaded reefs in Florida, the Caribbean and is moving up the Atlantic coast. It probably escaped from an aquarium. Lionfish are aggressive predators and threaten local species. It is also referred to as a turkeyfish because depending on how you view the lionfish it can look like the plumage of a turkey. See more bizarre and beautiful coral reef animals.
