Default Re: Grouper eating a Lionfish

You would expect all the predatory fish to take a stab at lionfish when they were first introduced; many probably succumbed to its venom. There must be a few individuals that were immune/resistant to the effects of lionfish toxin, and the offspring of those individuals will hopefully inherent those genes.

The first babysteps of natural selection was caught on film: remarkable footage!
