That is an invasive species called a LIONFISH Native Range Indo-Pacific and Red Sea. Lionfish were first reported off Florida's Atlantic Coast near Dania Beach in 1985. Since the mid-2000s, lionfish reports have increased rapidly. As of 2010, they have even begun to show up in areas where lionfish previously were not found such as along the northern Gulf of Mexico off Pensacola and Apalachicola.

You can read about them at:  Lionfish in Florida
