Jigsaw Puzzle : Lionfish on a reef
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Lionfish on a reef
Lionfish (Pterois volitans) hunting smaller fish on a coral reef. The lionfish is a predator, often hunting in groups. It uses its widespread fins to force prey, mostly smaller fish, into a crevice in coral or rocks, before sucking it into its mouth with a huge gulp. The spines in the fins contain a potent toxin, which deter predators and can deliver a very painful sting. The lionfish inhabits reefs in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, and in recent years has been sighted in the Caribbean, probably due to escapees from aquaria. It can reach about 38 centimetres in length. Photographed in the Egyptian Red Sea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a group of Lionfish (Pterois volitans) on a vibrant coral reef in the Egyptian Red Sea. These predatory creatures are known for their hunting prowess, often working together to catch smaller fish. With their widespread fins, they skillfully corral their prey into crevices within the coral or rocks before swiftly devouring them with an enormous gulp. However, it's not just their hunting techniques that make these lionfish fascinating; it's also their potent defense mechanism. The spines in their fins contain a powerful toxin that deters predators and delivers an excruciating sting if threatened. This venomous attribute ensures that these magnificent creatures reign supreme over the underwater world. Native to the tropical Indo-Pacific region, it is intriguing to note that sightings of lionfish have been reported in the Caribbean as well. This occurrence is likely due to escapees from aquariums, highlighting how easily nature can adapt and explore new territories. Measuring up to 38 centimeters in length, this trio of lionfish showcases both beauty and danger intertwined beneath the waves. It serves as a reminder of the intricate balance between predator and prey within marine ecosystems while showcasing the wonders of marine biology at its finest. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning image invites us into an enchanting realm where nature's secrets unfold amidst colorful reefs teeming with life.
