Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish

Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish

The Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish will grow to nearly 6 inches, but compared to other lionfish it is still a dwarf. Inhabiting the lower regions of the Austalian coral reefs, dwarf fuzzy lionfish are nighttime ambush predators. In the aquarium they will eat frozen foods but do require some areas to hide during daylight hours.  AND like all scorpionfish, the spines are venomous so be careful.
