Well, that’s one way to take care of the Caribbean’s lionfish problem.

A new and rare video has surfaced showing a grouper chowing down on a colorful lionfish off the coast of the Cayman Islands.

In the shocking footage, the much larger fish can be seen stalking its beautiful striped prey for a number of minutes, before luring it into open water and snapping it up in its jaws.

The footage, which was captured by a group of divers on Feb. 1, was obtained by Lionfish University, a non-profit organization hoping to raise awareness about the lionfish invasion of the Caribbean.

Lionfish, a non-native species to the region, have wreaked havoc with the marine ecosystem in the decades since they were introduced.
