I just found this photo on my laptop, I caught it on an ice jig in Cuba. I think it's called a Lionfish, but i'm not sure. Anyone?

I believe you are right. I also think they are an invasive species since they have few natural predators. I could be wrong though

Yep, lionfish. I know they are invasive in US waters, not sure where they came from. Poisonous spines so nothing eats them, they are supposed to be very good eating though, you just have to clip the spines off before filleting.

LOL, I was too scared to touch it!

"One spear fisherman swore that if someone had offered to amputate his stung foot, he would have accepted the invitation gladly"

“It won’t kill you, but it’ll make you wish you were dead”

That was probably a good idea, these are quotes from an article on lionfish...
