Antennata Lionfish

General information

The Antennata Lionfish has red, white, and black vertical stripes along the body. Its most striking feature is its large, fan-like pectoral fins and tall, quill-like dorsal fins, lacking connective tissue, giving them a spiny look. A medium aquarium with numerous hiding places is suitable. It will hide while acclimating to its new environment and should be provided with a good supply of ghost shrimp.

Additional details

The dorsal, pelvic and anal fins spines are venomous, similar to a bee sting, only stronger
