Your experience with a Volitan Lionfish?

I have had my lion for a month now. He sure knows when I am in the room. Comes right out hoping to eat. I have him on strick frozen. But he also likes to eat nori. kinda weird but wont stop him from eating it. Once it has been on the clip long enough and starts to float round. He hunts it down.
I did not think that he would develop such a personality. If i have no food he shuns me. goes upside down in his cave with his back too me.
I like the idea of using eggcrate to keep tabs on him while working on the tank. Going to start doing that. I find that he plays well with others, but is not intimidated by anything.

yes, I agree the Lionfish doesn't forget his hunting. I have a small lionfish that eyes my little Picasso Trigger fish all the time. I have to keep a close eye on him. If it wasn't a trigger, I wouldn't have put the two together. If the lionfish keeps growing how he is, then I would definitely have to remove the small trigger fish.

Although I do have 2 convict damsels in my tank with this lionfish, he is again to small to eat them. When the lionfish grows a bit more, the damsels will be gone.

Do to the nature of a reef, having inverts, I would predict the lionfish would clean house.
