Until they are the last living thing to look at in the ocean.

There's fish that can eat them though right

You don't have to....if you put them in a cooler of ice water for 20 minuets it neutralizes the toxin in the spines..... then you can safety filet, and if you get poked...will be no effect!

Forget the cooler, grab a beer and a couple shots of tequila because the next 45 minutes are going to suck! Then it's all good once again...it's the same as getting poked by a fire hand or leather jacket.

I noticed that same headline today.

hm they might be good for eating, but they also look nice alive I think

They are very pretty but sadly, they're a nasty, nasty invasive species in our waters that does immense harm to our local ecosystem.

like snakehead but where do these lionfish usually live

Big Lionfish Found at Disturbing Depths

I sometimes dive to 200 to 300 ft to keep current and maintain my ability to do so. i see them all the way back up, they appear to feel safer at depth as there are no people disturbing them there. There are certainly more the deeper you go over the wall.

I was never a working diver in military terms, I used to teach Soldiers to dive in the BSAC/PADI styles to improve their quality of service life. Much more fun than spending hours hacksawing through a bolt or looking for things in nil viz that might explode if touched. Military diving is like Scuba on steroids.....

I sure wish I had heard about it more than 5 days in advance.
It's only $80 to enter up to a 4 man team. Talk about a fun way to do a little competitive diving and get rid of some damn lionfish in the process.

Sorry about the short notice. A friend of mine that makes Foldspears (Foldspear -The only Holstered Polespear) asked me this morning if he and a couple of guys could catch a ride with me. Since I am still a member of the broken boat club, they're looking for a 4th member with a boat. Odd how many more people remember your phone number after you buy a boat... Andy is a good guy if you want to go...
