As I've mentioned before, during our lionfish hunt, with
Stuart Cove we spent some time feeding Lionfish to spotted moray & green eels. This was amazing to see, because some of the Lionfish that now live in the waters near Nassau are getting large. The average size was over 12 inches, with one caught at 18 inches. The eel in the shots here were considerably smaller than the Lionfish, and he took his time trying to figure out how to get the fish into his mouth and into the hole he called home. These fish were feed to the eels, they did not hunt them. Although not probable, it is thought that possibly the eels could find a taste for thse fish and actually hunt them on their own.

I saw a video yesterday from N2 divers of St Croix of an eel eating a Lion Fish.
