Uhhhhhhhh... Careful with that fish. They have a tendency of killing people. Be careful of its spines, because that is the venomous part. In fact, just try not to put your hand in the tank. And by the way, what size tank is that?
Not true at all. Lionfish are not bad at all. They will NOT go for you. And stick your hand in your tank all you want, just look where you're putting your hand
there are about 0 recorded cases of deaths by lionfish, unless it gets in to your bloodstream. Which, in that case you would still have to have an alergic reaction to die. Unless you get stung, and get a secondary infection you really have nothing but a small bee sting to worry about. (unless it is a scorpionfish/ stonefish, which it looks a bit like)
