I have had my volitan (about 4 inches) for a week now. He has not touched a piece of food yet. His color looks fine, but he just sits in a corner most of the day. He is in a 75 gallon tank with a huma huma trigger, niger trigger, dog face puffer, and 5 damsils. Everything is smaller then him, and he is not showing any signs of being bullied. I have tried to feed him mostly krill and brine. He was eating brine at the store fine (I asked to see him eat before I made the purchise). I dont anything is wrong with the water (temp is 78 and salt is 1.022) IF you have any suggestions please help. Thank you

when i had my lionfish which was a short period of time because very quikly he became too freindly and wanted to be near my hand when it was in my tank,i fed him silversides and had them on a feeder stick and kind of moved them around like they were live fish in front of him till he kinda gulped them down but he didnt eat for at least a week and it had me worried too but when he started eating it seemed he would never stop,watch your other fish!
Give him a few days to settle in..
Make sure the puffer or trigger aren't bitting off the spines of the Lion..
Do you have any ammonia? What is your nitrates?
