Video: Delightful and delicate devil firefish

Ingrid Sinclair

Like flamboyant kimono-wearers, these devil firefish (Pterois miles) take part in a gorgeous underwater parade. Don’t you just love the way the fish in this video flaunt their amazing, almost-translucent fins?


There are five species of devil firefish that occur in South Africa, all with different markings. The young of this species are almost transparent!

This video is from the Two Oceans Aquarium YouTube channel and it was filmed at the Aquarium on 21 March, 2011.
