That is a way cool looking lion fish. About how big can you expect it to get?

Many species are difficult to get off eating live fish, which can get $$$ feeding them damselfish long-term. Good luck with him. They like hanging upside-down under rock ledges.

go with a species only tank for that guy / gal... beautiful fish. I would love one myself (always have since a kid) but the demands are tough. We're better at it now (since 30 years ago) but still.... a daunting task.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

Theres only a damsel in there with him for the moment ! Ill have to remove it shortly , I have a Large Domino Damsel that will go good in there.

Go figure this guy was $25 but the LFS are selling wild caught LionFish for $60 that someone caught off a fishing line ! $60 thats crazy . I know they didnt pay hardley anything for them . Since the suckers are breeding here and have no none enemies they are labled as an Invasive fish .Theres even a hotline her to report sightings! Pretty funny!
