Your experience with a Volitan Lionfish?

yeah when it comes to lions, that one article answers most of the questions that pop up. actually Dr. Marini (the author) actually posts regularly over on RC.

i2ik, no. hunting small fish is instinct for them and they do not forget that easily. for example, when i had my lion i fed it frozens exclusively. When i recently let it go, i gave it a going away present: a damsel. that poor lil damsel was in the tank less than five minutes before the lion got it. It was really cool though to see the hunting behaviour of the lion almost exactly how Dr. marini described in his article. a really fascinating display that i had obviously never seen before while the lion ate frozens.
