Eye to Eye with the Lion

Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish, commonly known as lionfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Also called zebrafish, firefish, turkeyfish, tastyfish or butterfly-cod, it is characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red, white, creamy, or black bands, showy pectoral fins, and venomous spiky fin rays. This one I found lurking in a tank at the Cairns Aquarium, which has an amazing collection of material, and appears genuinely well maintained
