Grouper eating a Lionfish
http://nypost.com/2015/02/26/lionfis...hocking-video/
I thought nothing ate these things???.. This Grouper really seemed to "herd" the lionfish into open water to get a certain angle or something,, Very interesting the things that go on down there, mostly unseen... bob

Re: Grouper eating a Lionfish
You would expect all the predatory fish to take a stab at lionfish when they were first introduced; many probably succumbed to its venom. There must be a few individuals that were immune/resistant to the effects of lionfish toxin, and the offspring of those individuals will hopefully inherent those genes.
The first babysteps of natural selection was caught on film: remarkable footage!

Re: Grouper eating a Lionfish
As an avid diver. I have traveled to Belize many times. This is a very common site on the reefs of Belize. I first saw lionfish about 20 years ago down there. Now I see 20 lionfish on every dive. They are taking over the environment there. At one time Belize had a bounty on lionfish. There are not enough grouper on the reefs to eradicate this invasive species. The only good lionfish is a dead one
