Great reef feline! It is really cool to see one of these in its real habitat. I guess they don't just live in marine aquariums.

Great pun!

Nice colors, and a well-balanced composition. The deep blue background understates "in the wild" nicely.

It's unfortunate that some of the detail of this fish is lost in these small images here. I'll bet this is great to look at at 11 x 17.

Thanks for all the comments guys! It's rather hard getting most lionfish to pose properly as they point their tails and spines at you. This guy didn't seem to care.
