Lionfish is a common name derived from "pterois." Based on research, lionfishes are skilled hunters, they prey on small fishes and mollusks in quite significant amount. Most probably their direction to search for their home is where reefs with small fishes are found including corals and rocky surfaces, their preferred areas with available prey.
