The night predator

I met such a beauty while diving in the Red Sea. This striped miracle lives in coral reefs, which are located in the tropical zone. Leads a nocturnal lifestyle. During the day it hides in various shelters of natural origin. Its length is not more than 38 centimeters. The fish has an original appearance. Its yellow body is covered with multiple red-brown stripes, and there are dark spots on the fins. There are 13 poisonous spikes on the back. The originality of the fish is given by the radial processes that adorn its fins. Thanks to them, she looks very impressive. Sailors call the fish swimming among the reefs the lionfish.
