Under "Venom"; "Lionfish venomous dorsal spines are used purely for defense."

"Sure enough, Lonnstedt saw the same behavior in the tank as she had in the wild: D. zebra approached the other lionfish and waved one fin after another, then swam back over toward the prey. If the other fish failed to follow, D. zebra returned to it and repeated its fin display."

I was in Honduras, on the island of Utila, for a month in the summer of 1975. Lionfish were present among the corral reefs then, and we were repeatedly warned about them, told how to avoid them and what to do if stung. 98.127.122.250 (talk) 22:50, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
