What is another word for lionfish?
Pronunciation: [lˈa͡ɪ͡ənfɪʃ] (IPA) 
The lionfish, also known as the turkey fish or scorpion fish, is a venomous species of fish that is native to the Indo-Pacific region. Other synonyms for lionfish include zebrafish, firefish, butterfly-cod, and dragon fish. These names reflect the ornate, colorful appearance of the lionfish, which features long, flowing fins and striking patterns of stripes, spots, and dots. Despite their beauty, lionfish are considered a serious threat to native marine life in some areas, as they have no natural predators and can quickly overwhelm ecosystems. As a result, conservation efforts are underway to control populations and prevent further spread.
