Lionfish

I like lion fish. I think they are very beautiful and majestic. But don't touch! The spines can deliver venom. Normally they are tame and can be approached because they rely on their camouflage.

 

I took this shot at the wreck of the MV Alma Jane, Mindoro, Philippines. Map of the dive site here.

 

If you want to know more about lionfish, here is a very good web page.
