Hello, I have to admit I dont know too ,uch about lionfish, so trying to figure out more about specific one. Local reefer has a lionfish that he is looking to rehome as he is going traveling and cant depend on others to feed it live food. He said it is twin spot lionfish, however pics/video he sent me I cant fin another lion like that.

My tank is semi aggressive (red toothed trigger, lunaire wrasse (juvenile) 3 perc clowns, yellow dottyback and starry blenny) and all fish are 3+ inches. With that said none of them are fed live food like lion would have to, so trying to figure out if it is something I should even consider or not

Thanks for the help
 
I think I found my own answer. Looks to be Fu Manchu Lion. Read more on them now and not worth it. Hard to keep alive and require live food to survive.
