Antennata Lionfish (aka Spotfin Lionfish)

The Antennata Lionfish is also known as the Spotfin Lionfish. As with other Lionfish, this species will gracefully float along through the water column stopping along the way as part of its regular behavior. When acclimating, it is normal for the Antennata Lionfish to hide and isolate itself.

Adapts to captivity easily when provided with adequate hiding spots such as crevices and caves. Plenty of swimming room is needed as is subdued lighting as this species is more active at night than during the day.

Antennata Lionfish - Special Care Info
As with all Lionfish, the spines located across its dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins are venomous. The likelihood of a sting is a very uncommon event, but should not be taken lightly. Although the venom is stronger than a bee sting, every person reacts differently to the venom. It is highly recommended to get medical treatment.
