I got him to eat from a poker stick over the weekend.
I picked him up from a friend of mine at the LFS, for a very, very cheap price, $0. He had already eaten before i picked him up Thursday. Acclimated him etc. Saturday i got him to eat 1/2 of a silverslide and then Sunday i got him to eat 4 krill 2 in each feeding session. It was awesome. Next is to have him eat from my fingers with a silverslide. It was really cool to have him eat from the poker stick! I'm gunna try to post a pic now of him.

Are you sure thats a peacock lion? It looks like a volitan. Or else they are the same

I was thinking the same thing myself.

Is there any way to know or distinguise between the Volitan and Peacock????

its a P volitan.. a beautfiul juvenile at that...
Peacock lions tend to be the common name used for P antennatas
Anyway. Congrats on getting him to eat prepared foods
As to distingusing between at P volitans and P Antennat. easy looks at the Pec fins, Volitans has indivudalized fin pec fin rays which are webed all the way up, Antennats have webing to less than 1/2 way, then they have the peacock spots 9eyespot) on their pec fine. Once you've seen a Antennata you won't have any problems IDing them

I went into Google and did a search and unPeacock Lionfish, they look just like mine.
When i go to the LFS today, i'll see if i can tell the difference.
Thanks.
