Sub Ocular Spine

[Cichlas]

Thought I would do some pics of the sub ocular before disposing of the clown I lost today. They can inflict a painful wound to the unwary, and get caught in nets, especially fine mesh ones.

Netted a big loach at the store, and it went crazy and jumped out. I grabbed it quickly to get it back in the water and I got Stabbed! LOL Not exactly a lionfish sting, but not pleasant either.
