what does the lionfish do
Lionfish fins are not hollow and do not inject venom like a hypodermic needle or the fangs of a snake. The flesh of the lionfish is not poisonous or venomous. Lionfish also have very bony cheeks, but venom is not located there. Lionfish are stalking predators that often corral prey into a corner. They can consume prey that are more than half of their own length and are known to prey on more than 70 marine fish and invertebrate species including yellowtail snapper, Nassau grouper, parrotfish, banded coral shrimp, and cleaner species.
