Very cool. Lionfish are pretty relaxing, the ultimate chill fish for sure. Just don't pet him lol.

Looks good. So I guess you are doing a predatory tank?

That was taken with a Canon 1D MKIII and the 50mm Macro with the 1x converter.

This shot was taken at ISO 1000 f3.5 @ 1/20 handheld.

It's a beaut, E. Mine ate flake food out of my hands (pinched and squeezed under water to make a mass of flakes). I saw him hunting a blue head wrasse for a few days (before he figured out he couldn't catch the blind wrasse). That lion hunting was one of the coolest things I've seen in the hobby... Fins and rays undulating and effectively making him disappear.

They are cool and PITA would not like this but they are good for hard to catch damsels. They clean them right up for ya. I have since added a couple more tank mated which I will have to photograph and post. By the way, hello strangers!
