A Lion on the Hunt

I came across this juvenile lionfish during a night dive at Secret Bay (Gilimanuk, Bali).

Who says fish aren't smart? This little guy hung out next to this seapen for at least thirty minutes waiting for his midnight snack.

Is it my imagination or is that not a striated cone next to it? Yikes!! Those things'll kill ya!
