Description: Leo is a gentle reminder of what invasive species can do to native habitats. Although beautiful, the lion fish is an invasive species with a ravenous appetite bent on devastating native populations of fish and corals in the Caribbean and Atlantic. I was inspired to share his story because, although we often hear of invasive species on land, it is hard to fathom the same situation in our ocean habitats.
