Original - Antennata Lionfish in Schönbrunn Zoo, Vienna, Austria.The Antennata Lionfish belongs to Pterois a genus of venomous, marine fish found mostly in the Indo-Pacific. Scorpionfish is another common name of Pterois, as its spines are venomous. This venom is said to be painful, but the sting of a lionfish is not fatal for human beings. Both the mimicry and the venom are important defenses. When a predator identifies any Pterois in disguise with the habitat, the sting from its back will keep predators away for quite a long time.
Reason
The detail is fantastic.
