Could it be a...lionfish!?!?! *the crowd erupts into applause* No just kidding, but it's a definite possibility. Lionfish have striped bodies and fins, which are extremely elongated and flowing, which have the capability to sting, hence the name "lionfish." These fins look as if they outline the small head of the lionfish, so you can see the resemblance to an actual lion. I'm not sure about the "dark in color" part. Most lionfish you see at a local store are lighter colored with black, brown, sometimes purple-tinted fins, or other colors. But there are approximately 350 different species, so it's hard to explain exactly what one looks like. Do a search on the internet for "lionfish" and find some pictures, and then ask your fiance...or...click on the link below...it's a picture of a lionfish. Hope this helps!
