This photo was taken in Dahab, Egypt in 2006.
I have learned from an Israeli marine biologist that this is a new mutated version.
He has been studying lion fish since the 70s, and tells me that the feather is a new thing. This is the first ever published photo of the feathered lion fish.

Your 'Marine biologist' was having you on... I've seen quite a few lionfish like this, even photoraphed a few... It not grown the 'feather' it has lost one in a fight. Just look in any book or on the web for a picture of a common lionfish.
