Are dwarf lionfish active?

[johnnylaw1984]

I have been told that they only swim at night, ive been told, they are acte, ive been told they are inactive. Can any one actually give me a straight answer? I am thinking about getting 1 and want to know waht i would be getting into. I like the dwarf lionfish, they stay smaller and can live in a 55. thanks alot

All lionfish by nature are stealth hunters, they are to be found in the wild hanging motionless sometimes upside around cave entrances waiting for prey, they catch prey by sucking them into their huge mouths and engulf fish much bigger than you would believe possible.
They are active during the day, my Fuzzy Dwarf tells me when it is feeding time by waiting at the top of the tank at the front glass

I think they make a brilliant addition to the tank

they do tend to sit in one place alot and move around alot more at night... nice lionsKOD

My lions just hang in the tonga motionless most of the time waiting and watching, they tend to be a little more active at night but not a whole lot. They know when I am getting ready to feed them since they will come out in the open more.

My dwarf fuzzy lion was the only lion that I had which was active..

The other 2 dwarf species just 'hung around' all day..

The dwarf fuzzy would dance around the front of the glass and follow you around the room begging for food.. Reminded me alot of my pufferfish..
