Lionfish is a common name derived from "pterois." Based on research, lionfishes are skilled hunters, they prey on small fishes and mollusks in quite significant amount. Most probably their direction to search for their home is where reefs with small fishes are found including corals and rocky surfaces, their preferred areas with available prey.

<u>Answer:</u>

1. Lionfishes are very skilled hunters, which are carnivorous. Their scientific name is Pterois sp.

2. The ocean current flowing the coast of Florida is a thermal current. It flows from the coast of Florida along the coast into the southern and south-eastern coast of US. Then it joins Gulf stream.

3. Being skilled hunters, the lionfishes are hunting smaller fishes, decreasing their population. Even the moluscans and the coral population are decreasing. This change in ecosystem is seen in coasts of florida and the US.
