Something has to be wrong with my Lionfish I bought him last Tuesday and he is still refusing to eat anything! All my params are perfect, my SG is at 1.022 and he won't eat for some reason. He's still very active but I mean it's been over a week since I got him and it's starting to worry me!
Lionfish refusing to eat?

I don't know what you have tried, but try this. It's a hunter and will eat any fish that fits in its mouth. There are Brakwater Fish that are cheap that should be in salt type water like guppies, mollies and such. Buy some of them and let it hunt until it feels comfortable with you feeding it. It may be in shock, scared, or just something like that for right now.
no ghost shrimp?
you may have buy a small damsel or something... freshwater mollies and guppies could be thrown in but wont last more than an hour without acclimation, so only add one at a time
what exactly has he NOT eaten?
what have you been feeding? try mussels, everything i have goes ape... for mussels
