        This is probably the lion fish! It has venomous spiny rays, I was working with these when I worked in Madagascar.
        They are invasive species in the Atlantic, and scientists think they were released by people who keep them in aquariums and then find them too difficult to keep, so they let them free!! This is really bad!
        Invasive species are animals, that are non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem and whose introduction causes harm to other species in the ecosystem.
