Not my video, but I came accross this video today. Ive never seen anything like this before in my hobby years, but I guess what this tells me is clownfish have the ability to adapt to alot of diffirent stings, however, Im completly stumpped by this fish. Is the part of the Lion Fish the Maroon is on, non stingable or dosent have stinging cells?

Enjoy!And any ideas?!?!

That is pretty incredible the lion didnt eat em.

I think only the tips of their fins have poison? Im not sure though.

 

[clowns101]

Im surprised myself!

That could be true!Ive never really delt with Lion fish,so I honestly dont know!

lol

Now that is cool. Who needs anemones!!!!!!!! HA. The only part that is poison on the lion is his side and top fins (my mom is an expert after being hit plenty of times by hers). Nice!!!

 

[clowns101]

With spines like these who needs anemones right? hahahahaha...thats how the joke goes isnt it?I hope so!

 

[Saltgator]

The whole idea imo with a clown needing anemone is for pertection in the wild or our tanks as they have instilled in their bloodline. With a lion, well..... I believe that clown has the the best prtection of all. I mean, who or what eats lion fish? Just fyi, it ain't nothing we got hear in FL waters taking care of our newest pest (1st pythons in the glades, now lion fish in our surroundinding waters).

P.S. : If my spelling is off, I'm sittin by my grill cooking burgers and brats for family with cold drinks after mowing 11 acres today in 94 degree weather!!!!!

Lol,now if the clown just hosted in his mouth it would be the ultimate suicidal home!!

Only the first few of the top spines will sting prey

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Do you think the lionfish even knows the clown is there?

"man, I always feel like I have some clown looking over my shoulder"

:)

 

[clowns101]

I would assume the lion fish knows,but Im not sure!
