Has anyone owned one of these? I picked it up at the lfs for 50 bucks, and it the coolest lookin lion i've seen. His "wings" are a almost flourecent blue and red, and his body is a dark red and blackish color. I currently have him in a 75g FOWLR tank /w a small picasso, small Valentini, and a small dragon wrasse.
Very healthy eater, great to watch him fight over the shrimp with the wrasse.
Can't find any info on this species except anything saying that is is "rare"
Pic of this lion I found on another site.

Wow, you're lucky, he is beautiful. I've never seen a lion like that. 50 bucks, too. Nice! Take some pics of him if you can.

A blackfoot lion. Really rare lion, been looking for one of these for a while now. $50 is an awesome deal since the only place I have found that knows what they are and has a price is $149. Because of rarety you will not find much info on them as they do not fall into either of the normal two genus' of hobby lionfish. Good luck, I am so envious it isnt funny heheh.
