Volitan Lionfish (Pterois volitans)

The Volitan Lionfish is also known as the Red Lionfish. They can reach up to over a foot in size. It will require an aquarium of at least 120 gallons. Like all Lionfish, they have very long spines that are venomous. Please use caution when handling this fish. If you have a reaction, seek medical attention immediately. They're not reef safe as their diet includes small fish, shrimp, and crustaceans. With time they can be converted over to regular frozen meaty foods.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
