Lionfish are typically found in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea and the Great Barrier Reef. They have also spread to the Atlantic Ocean, particularly along the southeastern coast of the United States and the Caribbean, due to their invasive nature. Lionfish prefer coral reefs, rocky areas, and seagrass beds where they can hunt for prey. Their striking appearance and venomous spines make them a notable species in both their native and non-native habitats.

What native species is being affected by the lionfish?
The lionfish, an invasive species in the Atlantic and Caribbean, significantly impacts native fish populations, particularly herbivorous species like parrotfish and surgeonfish. These native fish play crucial roles in maintaining coral reef health by grazing on algae. The presence of lionfish disrupts these ecosystems, leading to overgrowth of algae and negatively affecting coral reefs' resilience and biodiversity.
