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

Privel per umans: GravSche sias spinas ta furan, va tar in medi. Cas da mort èn fitg rars.

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

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

Its venomous spines help protect it, which is probably why it has few predators.1

Sche sias spinas ta furan

Immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended after any sting, even for healthy adults, because reactions vary and can be unpredictable.1

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
