Pterois volitans Reef Safe With Caution The Volitan Lionfish is a striking and dramatic addition to larger marine aquariums. Recognized for its bold stripes in shades of red, white, and brown, and its flowing, and fan-like fins. This species makes a commanding presence in any tank. While beautiful, its spines are venomous and should be handled with extreme care. Capable of growing over a foot long, it requires a spacious tank of at least 120 gallons and will prey on smaller tankmates such as shrimp and small fish. The Volitan Lionfish is a carnivorous species and thrives on a meaty diet of live or frozen seafood, and with patience, can be weaned onto prepared foods. These fish are for saltwater aquariums only. Due to variations within species, your item may not look identical to the image. Measurements are measured from the tip of the dorsal fin to end of the pelvic/anal Fin.
