Hiya
I'm pretty used to tropical tanks but have recently upgraded to a 285l Marine set up purely so I can have a lionfish. I bought the setup second hand, set it all up and had my local marine shop check my water quality before purchasing the fish. It's been in the tank now for about 3 weeks, its eating frozen food with no problems, is pretty active and loves chilling upside down. I was just wondering if somebody can tell me what type he is. He was sold as just a "Lionfish" but i would like to be able to know exactly which type, i would say it is roughly 7-8inches nose to tail but i'm unsure of age, the shop had him about 6 weeks. Thoughts???
