This species is found from the Greater Antilles, including the coast of Central America, to South America. It lives solitary in areas of the ocean from 1 to 160 m, and can be found on sandbanks, in estuaries and lagoons, however rarely in coral reefs. It feeds mainly on crustaceans, and reaches a maximum length of 90 cm. It is a non-commercial species.

Common species in the Indo-Pacific, reaching a depth of 200 meters. It has nocturnal habits, hunting small fish, crustaceans and molluscs. Its maximum size is 23 cm. It lives alone camouflaged in algae (sargassum), which is why it is called sargasso.

They are common in the Indo-Pacific, living at depths of up to 48 m. It has a solitary habit, living among rocks, looking for fish and crustaceans to feed. Its maximum size is 100 cm.

They are species of animals that belong to the order of fish with a cylindrical body, the Anguilliformes, represented by eels and moray eels, have their distribution between tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of all oceans, being commonly found in regions of coral reefs, being able to live from the surface to great depths. The skin of moray eels has several camouflage patterns, they also secrete a protective mucus that coats their skin and in some species it can even be poisonous. They are predators specialized in hunting animals such as octopus, squid, small fish and crustaceans in rock crevices and small formations between corals. They have an average of 1 meter and 50 centimeters.

Found in the Indo-Pacific, along coral reefs, in a range of 3 to 25 m deep. They feed on corals, crustaceans, molluscs, sponges and algae and can reach 30 cm in length.

They live in the Indo-Pacific, at a depth of 1 to 67 meters. Hidden among the rocks, leaving only the head out, its maximum size is 130 cm. It feeds on small fish. They are hermaphrodites, when juvenile, the coloration is black, when they become males the dorsal portion (back) is yellow and when females become yellow, in the ventral part, with the posterior part blue.

Species from the Indo-Pacific, which lives in coral reefs or areas with rocks, at depths of a maximum of 80 meters. They are seen, when young, in groups of around 10 individuals, but as adults they are found together with anemones. It can reach 17 cm in length, with nocturnal habits, it seeks to feed on fish and crustaceans. It is worth remembering that the species of lionfish that became known for starting to invade the Brazilian coast at the end of 2021 is Pterois volitans. There is concern for researchers and fishermen, as these fish have no natural predators on our coast because they are invasive and have many poisonous spines on their bodies. But they feed on a huge diversity of animals that live here and reproduce very easily.
