We went to Las Vegas last weekend for a family get-together. While we were there we visited the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. One of my favorite exhibits was the Lionfish display.
According to my guidebook the bright colors of the Lionfish serve as a warning to beware of it's venomous fins. The pattern on each Lionfish is unique, just like a fingerprint.
I hope everyone is enjoying the 4th of July weekend! If you would like to join in on the fun you can visit the Camera Critters website

They don't even look like fish!
I can't get over how blue the eyes look. Nice capture especially since photographing things behind glass is rather difficult. Very nicely done.
Such strange fish. A face that only its mother can love.
I enjoyed your Motel 6 comment. LOL At least the bug doesn't have to pay their electric bill.
A prodigy of nature. Of course.

I've seen lionfish before, at our Dallas Aquarium, and you're right, they are just so awesome looking! Very unique and aptly named! Great Camera Critters share!
Nice pictures and informative post, thanks for visiting.
Everytime I see Tazzy I think what a wonderful life he had- the photos are something this week. Happy days sandy
Thanks for the very funny comment on my blog about my photos being ``shrimply irresistible!''.
I'm sure Robert Palmer would approve!
Really beautiful and very interesting critters.
Aren't aquariums always fascinating? Sea creatures are so inspiring.
Didn't know that about lionfish. Now I've learned something new visiting you. :)
Thank you so much for visiting me in my Hawaii blog, AppleDebbie. I had such fun looking at your blog. I'll come back to visit on Thursday once my high speed is hooked up. This dial up is so aggravating. I'm going to add you to my blog link.
Lionfish are Uber cool!
