Hmmm...it works when I click on the link. And I see you "recently joined" so maybe it worked for you in the end. Hope so!

Thanks for comment. I get the answer; "Hmm. That page doesn't exist." when I click on the banner for biodiversity Egypt.

Beautiful capture! Would be great if you could add to the Biodiversity in Egypt mission:

Thanks for nice comments. Yes it is a great predator but not that dangerous for divers. It will never sting unless it feels threatened. Treat the wounded place with hot water, not cold.

Great photos! Lionfish are such fantastic creatures! I was fortunate enough to see one off the coast of Borneo.
