Lionfish have natural predators in the Indo-Pacific that include: sharks, cornetfish,  grouper, large eels, frogfish and other types of scorpion fish.

Scientist are working to get natural predators of the lionfish invaded regions to start to eat these invasive fish. There are starting to be documented case of groupers, sharks, and barracudas eating lionfish in the wild.

Researchers have discovered that a single lionfish residing on a coral reef can reduce recruitment of native reef fishes by 79 percent. Because lionfish feed on prey normally consumed by snappers, groupers, and other commercially important native species, their presence could negatively affect the well-being of valuable commercial and recreational fisheries

Lionfish have been observed consuming 20 small fish in a 30-minute period and prey up to 2/3rd of their own length. Impressively, their stomachs can expand up to 30 times their normal size after a meal.

Lionfish are now found in much of the Caribbean, the US eastern seaboard and down into South America. The fish do not migrate, but their eggs can survive for several days as they float in marine currents.

It is speculated that the root of the problem was only 6 lionfish accidently released from an aquarium during hurricane Andrew in 1992. Genetic research supports this finger pointing but it is likely that many more have been intentionally released by "retired" aquarium enthusiasts. With no natural enemies and an extremely high reproductive rate of 2 million eggs a year from one female,
