Animal species found include manta rays, lionfish, sea turtles, clownfish, and sharks. In its native range, two species of moray eels were found preying on lionfish. A single lionfish, located on a reef, reduced young juvenile reef fish populations by 79%. Lionfish venomous dorsal spines are used purely for defense. Therefore, other approaches such as trapping are advocated for removing lionfish from deeper reef habitats. It remains unknown, however, how commonly these predators prey on lionfish. In its invasive range, few predators of the lionfish have been documented. The Bobbit worm, an ambush predator, has been filmed preying upon lionfish in Indonesia. The lionfish is a predator native to the Indo-Pacific. However, by 2016, Cuba was finding it more effective to fish for lionfish as food. NOAA also encourages people to report lionfish sightings, to help track lionfish population dispersal. Cooking techniques and preparations for lionfish include deep-frying, ceviche, jerky, grilling, and sashimi. The lionfish may have been purposely discarded by unsatisfied aquarium enthusiasts. The lionfish resemble those of the Philippines, implicating the aquarium trade. About 93% of the invasive lionfish population is the red lionfish.
