Your lionfish don't want to be free

Lionfish get a primetime spotlight tonight on NBC News for their ability to deliver powerful stings and eat their way through Florida's reefs.
According to the article, OSU's Dr. Mark Hixon will be releasing a new paper showing that "one lionfish can deplete 79% of a reef in five weeks."

Let this be a reminder that, like puppies and babies, lionfish are a long-term commitment and you can't just abandon them when you get bored. Florida's grouper thank you.
