The Lion Fish or Pterois Voltans lack preference when it comes to location. They live almost anywhere within the ocean, mostly in warm or tropic waters. They have also been spotted from depths of one foot to 1000 feet. They are typically found living in coral reefs and shallow bays. As you can see, the Lion Fish have a very diverse habitat. They originated from South Pacific and Indian Ocean. However, nowadays they have been spotted in warmer waters such as being found in southern Florida as early as the year 2000.
