And just how on earth did that fish arrive from tropical waters to the Adriatic.. ?

On the contrary. The introduction of foreign species often carries a danger for the local biodiversity.

E.g. the invasion of the zebra mussel in the Mediterranean, in the last years, which is damaging the ecosystem.
