Pterois is a genus of venomous marine fish found mostly in the Indo-Pacific, known collectively as the lionfish. Pterois is characterized by red, white and black bands, showy pectoral fins and venomous spiky fin rays. The potency of their venom makes them excellent predators and dangerous to fishermen and divers.
