Lionfish may be beautiful, but their arrival in Caribbean waters was disastrous for marine life in the area. This rare footage of a grouper fighting it out with the venomous fish is tense and weirdly beautiful!

Fish can be given the same test that causes them pain one way they swim and rewards them the other way hundreds of times and they will still go the way that causes pain almost as consistently due to fish brain. If the instinct to do something isn't hard wired into their DNA then the likelihood that they will learn something new is slim.

It looks to me like the Lion Fish went to the surface and turned upside down so that it could use the surface for protection. Theres alot of intelligence being displayed here on both parts. The Grouper was clearly analyzing the Lion Fish for any opening to attack. The Lion Fish used multiple different defensive stratiges , one to use the ground to protect its underside when that diddnt seem to deter the Grouper , it swam to the top and tried to use the surface. The Lion fish might have came to the conclusion that if it was close to the surface it might deter the Grouper because many fish wont swim that close to the surface but as shitty luck would have it. Hungry Grouper Gives no Lion Fucks.
@ROHDEOOO

I have worked with herd animals all my life(cows, sheep, horses, etc.). IMHO, that grouper herded the lion fish out and away from the reef to get it in the right position so he could go at it headfirst without any interference. Amazing behavior, he was so deliberate about it.

@Arielelian

It's fascinating that both fish seem to understand the tactics of the other and they're both trying to capitalize on their strengths while exploiting their opponent's weaknesses. The lionfish knows to keep its barbs in the grouper's face and knows it's best strategy is in exploiting the grouper's slower turning radius. The groups knows how to maneuver the lionfish into a strategic location and position where it's most exposed, while avoiding the venomous barbs. The downside is that they both seem to be in a stalemate and it'll likely come down to who makes a mistake first or who tires out first. The grouper seems to be exerting the most energy, so it may tire out first. But the grouper only needs one opening, which means the lionfish can't err at all.

You guys are worried about the grouper dying from lionfish venom. Don't be. Lionfish venom only works if it's injected - it can be eaten without hurting the eater because stomach acid destroys it. The grouper very carefully lines up the lionfish so the spines can't poke him before he eats it. Having said that, lionfish are not easy for groupers to eat (they have to be eaten head-first, and the lionfish knows to turn to the side when that's about to happen; the grouper knows better than to eat one who's turned to the side) so most groupers won't do it.
@sincerelybalie
@sincerelybalie 7 лет назад
Is that why the grouper kind of herded it towards the top of the water? So that the lionfish doesn't have a place to hide and once it reaches the top it has no choice but to turn around and once he tried to do that, the grouper bit its head? that's my observation...

Not sure what specie of Grouper this is but it greatly resembles the Red Groupers I often catch in the north-eastern Gulf. By my experience with the several Grouper species caught over the years the Reds are by far the most aggressive, and if there's a food resource to be exploited they will usually find it. A fellow we used to fish with once dropped a camera while Red fishing to watch their behavior, their behavior was to stop with our bait and proceeded to try and eat the camera, fortunately none of them were very big and the camera was retrieved without any damage.

@ricmotta2495
@ricmotta2495 9 лет назад
To me it is quite obvious that a little of both was going on, but mostly it was the grouper dictating where/when the real attack would happen. At first the grouper just got the lionfish moving. Once he saw the pattern (likely more than I saw, keeping back to predator and not swimming in reverse), it was a matter of manipulating him off the floor to add angles. Notice the grouper stays mostly low until the lionfish elevated. Watch when the lionfish is going forward vs when the grouper is going forward. The lionfish did not want to leave the cover of at least one wall/floor. Also, notice when the grouper changes elevation up and down vs when the lionfish does it. Once it got in the open, it did for a short bit head towards the surface, possibly (not as sure of this) thinking of it as a surface to cut angles. Again, which creature is advancing in which directions at which times clearly shows the grouper controlling the positioning and options for the lionfish. The lionfish w/should have never left cover of the rocks near the bottom, with 2 sides protected, it would have been easy to defend itself there.

The ban on grouper fishing and grouper population recoveries in many areas, are huge keys to controlling the invasive lionfish, especially in deeper waters where lionfish are known to survive, where divers don't go to as much, as well as in coral reefs. Here the grouper seems to be trying to get in front of the lionfish, to eat it head-first, but couldn't. The lionfish kept turning away in full defense mode, fins out, trying to make itself look too big. Finally the grouper hit it from the side, stunning the lionfish somewhat, before eating it from above.

Now imagine if these specialist groupers got into the natural environment of the invasive lionfish, and we'd have the same situation but backwards :P

The Lion fish swam up closer to the divers for help.... and yet divers were waiting and watching it to get eaten alive.....

That lionfish panicked, getting out in the open where it could be attacked from every angle was a bad move, or maybe it found god and was moving towards the light...

that lionfish knew it was in trouble - note how it tries and tries to keep it's poisonous dorsal fins towards the grouper. great to see the grouper win but I bet it has a sore mouth and/or belly
