Antennata Lionfish (VENOMOUS)

Latin Name	Pterois antennata
Common Name	Antennata Lionfish (VENOMOUS)
Also known as	Spotfin Lionfish
Fast Facts	This lionfish is easily recognized by the spots, which are often blue, on the inner surface of the large pectoral fins. It can be a durable aquarium fish that readily adapts to captive life if provided with adequate hiding places. If you keep more than one specimen, provide each individual with its own shelter site. This species is usually indifferent toward its tankmates, including members of its own kind and other lionfishes, unless they are small enough to swallow. Although it feeds on crustaceans in the wild, it will eat any fish that is small enough to fit in its mouth in the aquarium. Provide with plenty of open swimming space as well as caves and crevices for its to refuge in. It may spend more time in the open in a dimly-lit tank.
