Red lionfish
The red lionfish is a venomous coral reef fish with long, frilled fins that look like a mane. It is native to the Indo-Pacific, but it has spread into the Caribbean, the east coast of the United States and other areas, where it is an invasive species. Its spreading is a serious problem for local reef life.1

Akkaataa itti beekamu
- White stripes alternate with red, maroon or brown stripes.1
- Large venomous spines run along the back (dorsal) fin, with more on the pelvic and anal fins.1
- Long, non-venomous fins create a mane-like outline.1
- Adults can grow up to 47 cm long.1
Yeroo baay'ee kan itti wal fakkeessan: Pterois miles is a similar relative, and both species are invasive in the same areas.1

Its venomous spines are used purely for defence. A sting can cause extreme pain, and possibly headaches, vomiting and breathing difficulties.1

Yeroo sodaatu maal godha?
When threatened, it turns its venomous dorsal spines towards the attacker, even if it has to swim upside down.1
Yoo qoccoon isaa si waraane
- A common treatment is soaking the affected area in hot water, as very few hospitals carry specific treatments. Immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended, because some people react more strongly than others.1

Dhugaawwan
About 93% of the invasive lionfish population is the red lionfish.1
It strikes at prey that comes within 9 cm of its mouth, drawing the prey in with a sudden rush of water.1
Lionfish reproduce monthly, which helps their numbers grow quickly in new areas.1
Lionfish larvae hatch 36 hours after fertilisation.1
The larval stage is the shortest part of its life, lasting about one month.1
