Dead lionfish

[Sbristol49]

Hey guys I bought this lionfish about 2 weeks ago, it just wouldn’t eat since I got it the person who had it said it ate just mollies so I got it a few mollies it wouldn’t eat em now it’s dead but it’s stuck in between a few rocks I can tell a few fish took bites out of it, are the spines still dangerous, if so Idk if I should take the rock and just throw it out in case any of it is latched on idk, is it still venomous even after it’s dead? Just wanna know it’s hard to get it without using my hands to move the rock. Can you guys let me know thanks.

Do you have tongs or tweezers or anything? Use those instead of your fingers.

It is almost certainly still venomous, at least to the extent that you shouldn't touch it.

If I were you, I'd buy a decent pair of gloves.
