Description
The Antennata Lionfish is a striking and captivating marine species known for its elongated, spiny fins and the banded pattern of brown, white, and black stripes that adorn its body. Its venomous spines serve as a defense mechanism, making it an intimidating predator in the tank.
A carnivorous fish, the Antennata Lionfish thrives on a diet of meaty foods, including small fish, shrimp, and crustaceans. It is semi-aggressive and can coexist with larger, non-aggressive fish, though smaller tankmates may be viewed as prey. While it can be housed in a reef environment, caution is needed as it may consume smaller fish and invertebrates.
With proper care, this lionfish can add a dramatic, exotic touch to a well-maintained saltwater aquarium.
