I am definitely new to all of this so I really need some input. I received a lionfish from someone as I was starting my tank. He seems really health and loves to swim around the tank. His colors are good and he eats only shrimp pieces 3 times a day. The thing that I am questioning is: I have 2 bridges setup up of live rock and he loves to go underneath one of the bridges and hang upside down. :neutral: Sometimes he sit horizontal, vertical, and upside down too. I am just wondering if that is normal behavior for a lionfish? Please let me know. Thank you :smile:

Thats fairly normal behavior for lionfish. 3x a day feeding might be a little much tho, i think you are supposed to feed them like 3x weekly.
This is natural behaviour for a lion... no worries!
Feeding regime depends on the size of the lion... if its a baby (dwarf or not) it should be fed daily. I'd recommend feeding adults every-other day by means of gorging... feed them a lot (at once) on the day that you feed. Make sure during every feeding the belly is very plump, and you'll be A-OK!
