The large increase in lionfish populations can be attributed to several factors, including their introduction to non-native ecosystems, particularly in the Caribbean, through the aquarium trade. Their lack of natural predators in these new environments allows them to thrive and reproduce rapidly. Additionally, lionfish are highly adaptable feeders, preying on a wide variety of reef fish, which further exacerbates their population growth and impacts local marine biodiversity.

Aside from instances of larger lionfish individuals engaging in cannibalism on smaller individuals, adult lionfish have few identified natural predators. This is likely due to the effectiveness of their venomous spines. Moray eels (family Muraenidae), bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) and large groupers, like the tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris) and Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus), have been observed preying on lionfish. It remains unknown, however, as to how commonly these predators prey on lionfish. Sharks are also believed to be capable of preying on lionfish with no ill-effects from its spines.
