The News-Sentinel
In the wild: Lion fish live on coral reefs in the west-central Pacific Ocean.
Coral reefs are threatened in some places by pollution, fishing and shipping.
At the zoo, they eat fish, squid and tiny shrimp.
Scouting report: Stiff spines in the lion fish's fins contain a poison that is very painful to people.

\'Angels\' turn out to be lion fish
to be lion fish While I was in Samoa recently, I saw two angels -- the celestial kind, not the fish kind.
I'm not a good free diver, but fish don't have feathers.
I held my breath as long as I could, staring into the eyes of the largest, most fantastic lion fish I have ever seen.
Contrary to the image the name "angelfish" suggests, real angelfish are not delicate, filmy creatures with streamers trailing gracefully from long fins.
Marine angelfish are compact species, often brightly colored, with short fins.
Most angelfish are so shy they usually dash into hiding at the slightest approach.
Some types of lion fish, however, bear the more traditional angel look.
The bodies of some lion fish in the South Pacific grow to 12 inches long, but with fins spread, they look considerably bigger.
Lion fish have the opposite strategy of angelfish in protecting themselves.
An angelfish can dart into a reef hole so fast you sometimes wonder if you really saw it.
Lion fish, on the other hand, stand their ground and look conspicuous.
Lion fish can afford such boldness because those beautiful fins are highly poisonous.
Lion fish use their poison for defense only, never initiating attacks on humans.
