Lionfish crazy in Hong Kong

We had such a great day of diving with the water visibility an unprecedented 15m+!!!

Before spotting the Green Sea Turtle we encountered lots of Lionfish including a very rare Black Peacock Lionfish!

Although beautiful these fish are very poisonous so care must be taken. They are also a very invasive species and have caused havoc in other reef systems around the world simply due to their large appetite for small fish and the lack of natural predators! Should we be worried about our waters?
