Here is my Zebra. I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to show him. The flash left a haze. I apologize for that

wow, awesome looking Zebra, Sep! I will have to post some new shots of my fuzzy. She is really fattening up in the reef.

Like this? He is getting very big! I will have to get some new shots of him though. Mr. Lion has grown quite a bit.

Thanks! My fuzzy is getting quite large as well. I will have to get some updated pictures of him.

I am by no means an expert on lionfish, but many years ago I read an article that identified that last one as Pterois lunulata. It tends to be sold as a volitans, because it is similar, but differs in shorter "horns" on the head, and the webbing between the pectoral fin rays extends further out the rays than it does on a volitans. If you compare this fish to the first volitans, you will see the difference.

To be honest about it, the Volitan looks more like a Zebra than the rest
as far as the stripes go!

And I do know what kind lionfish I have!
