Where did I come across this beautiful but deadly animal?

Red Lionfish
Did I take this photo while diving in the Indian Ocean or during a visit to the Zoo aquarium?
What do you think...

Very nice photo! Just one clue on where it was taken: Did you learn it was possible to swim backward very quickly?

Nice pic. A painful sting but not deadly.

Pretty! I guess an aquarium.

I too would guess an aquarium, in which case you've controlled the reflections nicely.

Thank you, underwater photography is one of the few things I've never done, so you've seen it right! The photo was taken in Ouwehands Zoo in the wooded east part of the Netherlands.

Thank you, luckily the reflection wasn't too strong in this aquarium (I didn't bring a Polafilter with me) but the scratches and dirt on the glass of the different, large aquariums were considerable and did cost some clone work!
