What kind of lion fish is it? The Volitain Lion I had loved silversides and the Fuzzy Dwarf Lion I have now loves krill, it only eats 2 times a week some times 3. Try soaking the prawns in some garlic to intice it.

I would try some krill ( small shrimp ) it my not like the white prawn but defiantly try some garlic extreme ( I think that is what it's called ).
