Thanks Anthony for your experiences. Always good to know worst case. Geesh I would have to have a sign on the tank, "DO NOT PUT FINGERS IN THE TANK!"
Im still debating this Lion fish just for that reason.

I'm also wondering if it will really would get along with my 4.5" porcupine puffer and a 3" Star & Stripe puffer, and a med Foxface. I also have 2 bugger damsels in there, but their mean and no loss if eaten. However I would have to remove my 1" picasso trigger to my other tank, just in case.
Any thoughts? What kind of tankmates have you tried with a lionfish??
Thanks for all your feed back so far!
