Great...

More non-native fun...

Say hello to your new neighbor, the Lionfish:

"Long Island’s waters are being invaded by the exotic lionfish, an alien tropical species native to the Pacific Ocean that has vividly colored stripes and a freakish array of venomous spines.

Divers report capturing hundreds of lionfish this summer, compared with a total of about 30 over the last three years."

That clipped from Pinch's mess.

    I've always assumed that the Lionfish was indigenous, because of the U.S. submarine that bears its name. I remember boarding the vessel many years ago on a trip with cub scouts.
