Pterois voltans
Numerous reddish brown to nearly black bands with white lines between; long feather-like pectoral fin rays with light and dark bands; dark spotted dorsal, anal and tail fins.
Tropical coral reefs from shallows up to 50 meters depth.
This spotting was of a lionfish hunting among small reef fishes. From time to time, it opens its mouth like it was yawning.
