I know, this is not a great photo... taken with my iPhone... but what the heck.
I swear that people who make movies about SciFi outer space creatures take them all from the sea...
Lionfish are territorial... so this guy hangs out near the stern of our boat (I know, I will try to get a better photo!). He is not there all the time, but often.
The "feathers" on the lionfish are poisonous barbs. They are endemic to the Pacific ocean and have been carried in the bilges of ships to the Atlantic Ocean where they are an Invasive Species as they have no predators there.... I'm not sure who their predators are here....
