Experience with fu manchu lionfish

[2026_1]

What is everyone’s experience with fu manchu lionfish? I have wanted one for a while and i finally found a fish store with one in. It’s been there for around 3 months and they said its been eating frozen food. I have heard a lot of negative stuff about these fish should i even bother getting one lol

What type of system are you planning on putting the fish into? Size, other tank inhabitants?
I had a couple many yrs ago, the novelty wore off, but I still like wasp and leaf fish.
