Lionfish in Reef

[ponokareefer]

I have had mixed results with lionfish in a reef. My first one was supposedly hand fed frozen food only, but when I added him to my tank, he ate about 4 fish that could fit in his mouth over a few months. The rest of the fish were too big, so he left them alone. I started feeding him damsels, and he was fine, but one day, found him belly up after eating a black damsel. As I didn't have any small fish left, I bought another one, and put in a small damsel, but he wouldn't touch it. I now have a dottyback, and four clowns, along with 5 shrimp, and he doesn't touch anything, only wanting krill or silversides. Not sure how long this will last, but he is such a beautiful fish. He has been in with my small fish for about 6 months now.
