Russell's lionfish

Russell's lionfish (Pterois russelii), also known as the Red Volitans, is a marine species characterized by its red, white, and brown banded appearance and elongated fin rays. Originating from the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific, this species is distinguished by its striking appearance, featuring venomous spiky fin rays for defense. Despite its attractive looks, it is less well-known in the aquarium hobby compared to its relatives, partly due to its specific care requirements and potential danger from its venomous spines.
