    Ok so it's not a blue lion fish...but the LFS people were all busy and after waiting for 15 minutes I left. It also was not labeled so I am unsure what type of fish it is...but your right I don't think it's a lion fish. I'm not 100% certain that it's even a saltwater fish...even though every tank around it was saltwater.

    Why does it look like it's attached to a string? ::)

    your string is a reflection in the background it's the stand part of a cabinet. And I saw this thing move it's fins when we were watching it!

    P.S. I am sure I've been fooled before...but I will not while watching it...it really didn't move all that much but it's front fins did fan back and forth quit a bit. Now I can't remember if it's gills were moving....granted I was so convinced it was real not sure I really payed much attention to that...hard when your 4 year old keeps trying to dodge you to see all the fish out of your view every 10 seconds while the 2 year old your holding keeps pointing at fish everywhere else screaming "fsh".
