whats happening with lion fish?

They've been released into the Atlantic/Caribbean and are proving to be a pest species, multiplying in huge numbers and eating too many native fish.

You may want to subscribe to NOAA's 'coral-list' email server-there's quite a bit of good info and discussion that's current,posted from time to time on the lionfish situation
