Pterois is a fancy word for a group of fish commonly known as lionfish. They are named lionfish because they have long, spiny fins that stick out like a lion's mane.
Lionfish come in different colors such as red, brown, and black, and they have stripes and spots on their bodies. They also have very long, thin fins that make them look very floaty when they swim.
Lionfish are found in the ocean and are sometimes kept as pets in aquariums. However, people are now concerned about lionfish because they are not from the same place where they are now living. People think they were accidentally let into the area by accident, and they are now taking over the ocean.
Lionfish eat a lot of small fish and can be very mean to other fish. They also lay more eggs than other fish, which makes them really good at multiplying quickly.
People worry that because lionfish eat so many smaller fish, it might make it hard for other fish to find food. This is why some people are trying to get rid of lionfish from certain areas of the ocean.
Overall, lionfish are pretty fish with long, flowy fins, but they can also cause problems for others in the ocean.
