Lionfish Taking over

This is a little disturbing. Lionfish have begun having a negative effect on the ecosystem in the Atlantic ocean. Apparently, they have no natural predators so their ranks are growing quite rapidly.

An old buddy got stung by one of those in his home aquarium. The sting lasted many monthes. Too bad we can't turn them on the pythons in the Everglades....
