Lion Fish

Some of you may not know that Lion fish are invasive species and they eat anything smaller than them. They also destroy parts of the coral reef and hence are encouraged  to be fished for in the waters. However the divers have a hard time catching these fishes because of the fact they have poison not only covering their spine but also their fins. They are not native to US water but were brought from the Indian ocean but quickly reproduced in the Atlantic Ocean. These are the types of fish that are growing in population because there is no other fish out there that would eat them due to their poison in their body.
