Pterois antennata, like many fish species, has very different common names like Broadbarred Firefish and Spotfin Lionfish. The species occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from East Africa to Marquesan and Mangaréva Islands, north to southern Japan, south to Queensland, Australia, Kermadec and Austral Islands in a depth range from 2-86m in lagoon and seaward reefs, hiding in crevices under rocks and coral formations during the day and hunting at night, feeding on shrimps and crabs, max. length 20cm. This specimen is inbetween Whip Coral Ellisella sp. at the left and Black Coral at the right side. The outline of this fish is visually disturbed by the numerous spiny projections and fleshy tabs improving camouflage by mimicking the Banded Sea Urchin Echinothrix calamaris.

Lionfish in the Atlantic range from 2.0 to 17.7 in. in length, weighing from 0.055 to 2.866 lb. They are well known for their ornate beauty, venomous spines, and unique tentacles. Juvenile lionfish have a unique tentacle located above their eye sockets that varies in phenotype between species. The evolution of this tentacle is suggested to serve to continually attract new prey; studies also suggest it plays a role in sexual selection.
