Yes. A lionfish has poisonous spines and a poisonous body to protect itself. If a piranha and a lionfish met, the piranha will attack the lionfish, but the lionfish would sting it, and kill the piranha and eat it.

One lionfish can kill a human by stinging the human once the human touches it. If the lionfish bites the human's hand, the human would get poisoned.

A sting from a lionfish is extremely painful to humans and can cause diseases and breathing difficulties, but is rarely fatal.

They are not poisonous (to eat), however they are venomous. The tips of their long spiny fins contain a venom.

No. Because a grouper has a thick skin to protect the lionfish from poisoning it, and when the grouper chomps the lionfish, the poison is nothing to a grouper.

Yes. The scorpion fish can bite the lionfish to death. Even if the lionfish has poisonous spines, the scorpion fish will not get infected by it since it has a hard poisonous body.
