Comments | Specimen observed. Water depth = 10 ft. Notes from the observer: "Located the Lion Fish while snorkeling at the end of the concrete wall that sticks out from shore. The fish stayed right on the inside corner of the wall at it's deepest point. It seemed to be keying on a piece of coral about the size of a basketball and an old white towel laying on the bottom. We dove down to see the fish several times and it just stayed in the same spot." |
