A Red Lionfish spreads its spectacular fan of striped fins while moving through the waters of the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi, Texas. Viewed from the side, the sweeping spines and intricate brown-and-white pattern create an unmistakable silhouette and showcase one of the ocean’s most distinctive predators. #RedLionfish #Lionfish #Pterois #MarineLife #FishPhotography #AquariumPhotography #WildlifePhotography #TexasStateAquarium #CorpusChristi #Texas #EngelPhotography
