Red lionfish Singa swimming in her habitat at the Seattle Aquarium.
Singa

Find Singa in the Pacific Coral Reef habitat

Singa, which means “lion” in Indonesian, is a red lionfish. Native to the waters of the Indo-Pacific, these fish have venomous spines that they use for self-defense. When hunting, they use their fan-like pectoral fins to “corner” their prey!

Find Crush in the Birds & Shores habitat

Western snowy plovers like Crush can be hard to see in their range along the Pacific coast because their coloration blends in so well with the beach landscape. They’re a lot easier to spot at the Seattle Aquarium!

Rockfish Rock and Roll swimming in the Windows on Washington Waters habitat at the Seattle Aquarium.
Rock And Roll

Find them in the Window on Washington Waters habitat

While many of the world’s fish species live to be anywhere from two to 10 years old, rockfish can reach ages of 100+ years! Rockfish are also known for their ability to hover, motionless, in the water.
