This is a beautiful predator fish, one of the most fascinating and interesting creatures you can have in your marine aquarium.
All 13 dorsal fin spines, one pelvic fin spine and three anal fin spines are toxic. Used only in self-defence, contact with the venomous spines are not fatal to humans, but can pack a mighty punch with post-sting reactions including high temperature, vomiting, dizziness and difficulty breathing. Venom from the common lion fish is protein-based, so it can be rendered inactive by applying heat or freezing, and first aid advice suggests pouring non-scalding, hot water on the sting sight immediately
