Origin: Indo-pacific
Impact: Lionfish, which have no known predators (besides human), are the fastest growing coastal invasive, laying millions of eggs every month. They damage marine aquatic ecosystems by decimating life on reefs, including the small fish who keep the reefs healthy and the larger fish of importance to commercial and recreational fishing.
