I don't have much to share, but i'll give you a friendly bump. This is a fascinating fish and if one day i have an aggressive tank, this will surely be in it.
Thanks Pedro. I'm thinking of setting up a 90g lionfish only tank. Probably a really black voltain (hard to find! - any leads?), and a few dwarfs. Wonder if anyone else in the area has done something similar and has stories to share.
NWA had a few black Volitans when I got this Mombasa from them two weeks ago. And they weaned them onto frozen; mine was eating prongs the next day. Overall he's been a very cool fish - and even though he might have been the cause of two fatal carpet surfing incidents (have no evidence he was guilty) I don't (yet) regret getting him.
He's starting to recognize me and swims to the area where I've been feeding him when he's hungry. It's hard not to feed him all the time! And it's fascinating to watch him eat - you just kind of drop the food in front and as it floats towards him he'll suddenly lunge...and the food will be gone. He does it so fast you're almost not sure where the food went. I have a Purple Pseudo that he hasn't gone after. I won't be too upset if one day she disappears, to be honest. She's a nasty little...twitch. Here's a few pix of the Lion.
