Ei to sue suku vo nom naa en saka potee vira haana bona iana.

      The lionfish does not very much look like a fish, it looks like the kotokoto insect that stays in the black sand here. The bubukevara has ten wing-like fins. Five fins on one side and the other five on the other side. When it stays under the sea (surface), in the stones, its fins stand up in all directions. Therefore I said that it is not like a fish.

      Its fins are beautiful, they have black, red, light brown and white spots. The lionfish looks only a bit reddish.
