Can you feed a V. Lionfish a raw shrimp with the shell still on it or should the shell be removed prior to feeding?

I would remove the shell and rinse off with RO or distilled water to ensure there arent any contaminants when put into the tank

Actually it is not harmful to feed with the shell on. In fact it is more nutritious with the shell on. I would take the head off though. Just make sure the shrimp is not gone bad, if you wouldn't eat it, neither should they.
