I took this picture in the Red Sea, off the coast of Egypt. I've dived with hundreds of these fish at once. They are poisionous, but also shy. You leave them alone they'll leave you, so don't make them seem like a big danger. In the Indo-Pacific you'll find hundreds of thousands of lionfish with no adverse effects to the coral reefs. I think you'll find that commercial fishing is doing more damage to fish stocks than a few intruders that some short sighted individuals have introduced. Why not put your energies in to curbing the real problems? Man!
