Intricate bands of cream, brown, and white flow across the body and fins of a Red Lionfish at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. The close view emphasizes the remarkable natural patterns and sweeping fin rays that give this marine predator its dramatic appearance. #RedLionfish #Lionfish #Pterois #MarineLife #NaturePhotography #FishPhotography #AquariumPhotography #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristi #Texas #EngelPhotography
