A red lionfish patrols its territory among male and female Anthias, sometimes known as jewelfish. Red lionfish are mainly a nocturnally active solitary fish. When threatened, they often face their attacker upside-down, bringing their spines to bear. However, its sting is usually not fatal to humans. These spectacular fish are always a highlight when encountered on a dive.
