    Pterois mombassae (Mombasa Lionfish)

    this fish is often confused with P. antennata, however, this fish was ID'd as P. miles, which is WAY off the mark. it's a smaller medium-bodied lion (7"-8") from the coast of Africa. unlike most lions, this fish is fairly sensitive to deteriorating water quality.








    did you ever wake up and have the feeling that something REALLY bad is about to happen?

    There is no elevator to success in marine tanks. You have to take the stairs.
