    Yes but the tricky part is you have to sprinkle it on their tails :)

    Man is to blame for this. The fish wouldnt be there if ignorant hobbiests wouldnt have released them there. Im all for banning the sale of Lionfish and several other fish that have no place in the home aquarium. Several fish get to large for the home aquarium (reguardless of the size of the tank), and will quickly consume all tank mates. LFS's will not take them back cause they cant do anything with them, so people release them without thinking/caring about the consequences of their action.

    I am by no means a liberal, and anybody on here who knows me can attest to this. Theres a difference between right and wrong, reguardless of ones political views.
