Photo Of The Week - Lionfish, Milne Bay PNG

This week's photo, Lionfish or Red Firefish, Pterois volitans, was taken during our recent trip to Milne Bay.

Common to the Indo-Pacific region, the Lionfish is considered every bit a part of our tropical waters as any other. Its new arrival in the U.S.A. however is not welcome at all since being introduced by the aquarium trade back in 1992. Having no natural predators in other parts of the world means this beautiful creature has become an introduced pest to our friends across the Pacific.

As for local photo's, well teaching again is leaving little time to get the camera wet so you will all have to put up with PNG photos for a little while longer. Sorry...

Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that's what you do! ) ...Robert

Nice widdle lionfish, cutie-pumpkin-pie.

Don't mind that those ole Amerikaners don't like you. Just don't let 'em use you in the war in Iraq or anywhere else.

You can live here safely in li'l ole Oztraylia.

Or PNG.
