I had a lionfish 20 years ago. He was very easy to take care of (but I would not put him with fish that are smaller than the Lionfish's mouth). I discoverdd that lionfish love to eat crabs. If you have an arrow crab, he's a gonner. My Lion ate my Arrow crab within 10 minutes of being introduced into the tank. He ate minnows, mollies and goldfish, but would also take processed pellet food.
