    The Lion Fish may have tried to eat the Cat Fish I do not know the size of either.

    The Lion Fish would not have stung it in a aggressive manner but rather by accident if that is what indeed did occur.

    Lion Fish are not aggressive they just will attempt to eat anything that they think can fit in their mouths, even if it can not fit.
