Wild caught Lionfish - adjusting, eating, etc

[jenny31052]

Hello,
no new to the hobby, but I have never took care of Lionfish.
A week ago I obtained two small/medium Lionfish straight from a diver - fish literally went from 120 feet underwater, to boat, and to my quarantine in less than 2 hours.
They are doing ok, one of them is eating ghost shrimp like crazy, the other one does not have a food response yet.

I have never got fish this way, so I'm wondering if I should do anything particular.. and how can I get them to eat really well.

Thank you

Its not good that live food isn't working but lions can go along time w o food. Basically, low light quiet conditions. Watch for any aggression between them

Some lions will eat silver sides when offered on the end of a long skewer but I don't know about wild caught ones. There's a bigger chance of getting accustomed to certain types of food that your not offering.
They can be finicky eaters.
