start with feeder shrimp. to get our P. radiatta to eat we would put an appropriately sized ghost shrimp in a tiny net and then move the net with shrimp in front of the lion. the shrimp would slowly crawl out and the lion would see this and peek its interest. once the lionfish is use to eating live ghost shrimp from the net you can switch to frozen krill.
