I thought I would post a follow up for this.  As it turns out, the lionfish prefers food that doesn't move at all.  Not even floating by.  He wants it on a skewer, hand delivered.   Though he will chase the skewer a bit.  His eyesight is good, because he will follow food that drops with his eyes, but he won't go after it.  He's a princess, it seems! Serfs, bring me my suppa!
