blackfoot Lionfish

from what I have read, they are near impossible to keep because of stress issues and temperature of tanks. has anyone tried collecting this fish in person? has anyone here ever caught their own fish from the wild in general? I mean for all we know all of them are caught with cyanide or brought up from the ocean depths too quickly.

ive been looking at getting one for awhile and got scared off after hearing stories from what other people who have had them said. but who knows people told me horror stories when i got my marine betta said they were hard to get to eat but i never had problems. good luck
