Lionfishes (2683 words) |
 | Scorpaeniform fishes occur in a wide array of colors, shapes, and crypsis. |
| For aquarists that take the time to research exactly where their specimen comes from on the reef, the rewards can be rich in observing not only initial transformations of color and pattern to exploit their cryptic evolution… but possibly even the growth of (more) elaborate appendages and extensions, as with leafy and weedy species. |
| That is to say, while they are highly predatory and most will snap at anything small enough to ingest (and some things that are not!), their long term health and survival in captivity is crucially dependant on finding or being offering the right kinds of food to satisfy their specific nutritional needs. |
