This species of Lion fish are some of the small types Aquarist could keep. They grow to about 4" in length and venomous like other lion fish. So caution should be taken. Lions will eat small fish and  nibble invertebrates, live shrimp, though they do not harm coral. May need live food to initiate feeding but will take larger frozen foods.
