Antenneta lionfish Profile

The Antennata lionfish, known scientifically as Pterois antennata, features a distinctive coloration of bold red, white, and black bands. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, this species is recognizable by its elongated fin rays and a "mane" of venomous spines that resemble antennae, contributing to its name. It exhibits a striking appearance but is less common in the aquarium hobby compared to other lionfish species. Despite this, its unique look makes it a sought-after specimen among enthusiasts familiar with its care and requirements.
