Devil firefish
The devil firefish, also called the common lionfish, is a striped fish with long, feathery fins. It lives in the Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea to Indonesia, and has also spread into the Mediterranean, the east coast of the United States and the Caribbean. Its fin spines are venomous and can cause severe pain, so give it plenty of room.1

Akkaataa itti beekamu
- Colour ranges from reddish to tan or grey.1
- Many thin, dark, vertical bars run across its head and body.1
- The dorsal fin looks feathery, and the pectoral fins are wing-like.1
- It grows up to 35 cm (14 in) long.1
- Its head is less angular than that of the red lionfish.1
Yeroo baay'ee kan itti wal fakkeessan: It is frequently confused with its close relative, the red lionfish (Pterois volitans), which is very similar in appearance. The red lionfish does not occur in the Red Sea, and its head is more angular.1

The fin spines are highly venomous. A sting can cause extreme pain, vomiting, convulsions, minor paralysis and breathing difficulties.1

Balaa namootaaf: CimaaYoo qoccoon isaa si waraane, doktora bira dhaqi. Du'i baay'ee hin mudatu.The fin spines have caused death in some reported cases, but a sting is rarely fatal. Some people are more sensitive to the venom than others, and symptoms vary in severity from person to person.1
Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?
Its venomous spines help protect it, which is probably why it has few predators.1
Yoo qoccoon isaa si waraane
- Immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended after any sting, even for healthy adults, because reactions vary and can be unpredictable.1

Dhugaawwan
Moray eels have shown resistance to its spines, and they are now known to be natural predators of this fish in the Red Sea.1
The red lionfish is thought to have arisen from hybrids between this species and a related lionfish.1
It was first recorded in the Mediterranean off Israel in 1991, after entering through the Suez Canal. It is now common in the eastern Mediterranean.1
