    Beautiful I agree 100% However Lionfish now inhabit reefs, wrecks, and other habitat types in the warm marine waters of the greater Atlantic. These Lionfish continue to expand at astonishing speeds and are harming native coral reef ecosystems in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean. These reefs are already struggling from the effects of climate change, pollution, disease, overfishing, sedimentation, and other stressors. Really wish people thought first before freeing themselves of unwanted pets . Instead of assuming it’s only your lion-fish, what harm is one going to cause. Yea it’s never just you no matter how special and unique your parents told you you were . Btw Florida pays $5-$6 a pound . dive equipment, tank fills, ownership of a boat. These weigh anywhere from 2 - 3 lbs I walk away with a thousand for 3 hours of work . Or you could wait for the lionfish derby . We should be handing our world over to the kids the same as we received it. It’s only right!!!!!

    Diving today, one followed us and circled us for more than 10 minutes. It kept trying to dock on my dive buddy and me. I got to check and upload my video. At one point, I gave up after I had 7 minutes of it but made a few more clips.

    YOU were swimming, it was FLYING! I love these, they are one of my top target species I look for while diving. I have videos of them in Bonaire on my channel and even one looking for food that I saw from the sidewalk while I was on my bike in Key West.
