Confirmed
The lion fish (Pterois volitans) is called
"Koraalduivel", literally meaning "Coral Devil"
in Dutch (and also in Flemish I suppose).
(I assume that is the right fish, I have not seen the picture yet)
Also be aware that the Manta Ray
has some smaller cousins called
Devil Rays belonging to the genus Mobula.
