Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - 10 reasons that I shouldn't get a Lionfish

I bought a volitan lionfish because I loved the way that they look, but that got old after a few months. They never move. They just sit there until you drop food in. Then they eat it real quick and return to their resting place and sit there until you feed them again. Not very interesting, at least for me. Mine eventually got fin rot and died.
