Description
6 red, cream and dark brown striped lionfish swimming among orange and blue coral are presented on a light blue background with a wavy water surface outer rim in this underwater coral reef fish nature mandala. So I am back to my fishy ways! While there is beauty in this beast with their colorfully striped red, cream and black bodies and fan like fins, this fish is a volatile threat. Native to the Indo-pacific, venomous Lionfish, Pterois volitans and P. radiate, have easily and aggressively adapted to varied water depth habitats and are thriving far and wide. As “ecosystem wreckers” with a diet that can include over 60 fish and invertebrate species, they are invasive predators threatening local coral reef communities of multiple fish species eating their fry and the ability to rapidly reproduce and disperse 1000’s of eggs into the ocean currents traveling hundreds of miles. They now populate the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico surrounding the US. Visit phelpsmandala.com for a view of my fish world with over 130 fish related circular nature mandala and rectangular nature panel images in a collections with over 1000 nature inspired images spanning a 10 year period of celebrating Mother Nature’s biodiversity.
