Little blurry due to how fast he was striking, but still pretty cool nonetheless:

in regards to the tank background:
I get this question every time i post pics from this tank, i'm glad you guys like it so much
It is Krylon gloss blue painted onto the back of the tank, I will never use anything else again, it's perfect for my tanks.

Moray, will your lionfish eat any non-living food? I'm interested in getting a fuzzy dwarf and was wondering about their diet?

I fed him guppies for a week, then nothing for a week.
Now when I put frozen krill in, he attacks them as they float down. He won't touch silversides yet. Those are the only two non-living foods I have tried.
There's a post in the aggressive forum about food regimen for lions.
