Wild Predation on Lionfish

I will try to keep this page updated with some videos of animals that are eating on lionfish.  While I am out, I sometimes cut the head off the lionfish and toss it down to the reef fish, in an effort to put a little nutrition back into the environment.  So far I have observed small reef fishes (seargent majors and the likes), brittle stars, and even a green moray eel eating the remains.  Below are a few videos I have found on the internet of animals eating the Lionfish.

Here is a video of a humpback scorpionfish eating a lionfish…… watch closely!
