Lionfish can swim at speeds of up to 1 mile per hour (1.6 kilometers per hour). While they are not particularly fast swimmers, their unique hunting strategy relies on ambush and the ability to quickly expand their fan-like fins to capture prey rather than pursuing it at high speeds. Their striking appearance and venomous spines also help them deter predators.
