Lionfish Showoff thread

[LavaToad]

I saw this cute little dwarf lionfish at Petland that I just couldn't pass on. The guys there have been feeding him live brine shrimp so I'm in the process of starting to ween him onto frozen food. Anyone who has their own lionfish feel free to post a pic here

You have him in a reef tank?

You have him in a reef tank?

Why not, they don't eat corals...

He is in my reef tank but I dont have many small fish in there.
He is also very small, sized by the ricordia in the background.

He has been a model fish not counting the porcelain crab he ate.

This is the coolest picture I found for a radiata.
Very striking, when I was researching lionfish I wanted a dwarf and not a larger one. I found a really interesting writeup

This is no dwarf and will get a lot bigger, but I figure I have another year before I have to figure out what to do.
Maybe start up a FOWLR.
