Prepared food for Lion Fishes

[mling]

I would really like to have a Lion Fish and I understand that it prefers live or frozen food and getting it to eat alone is a challenge. I don't know if our family life style would permit it since we tend to be away from home, 4 to 7 days, very often and have to use a auto fish feeder.

Has anyone been able to keep a Lion Fish with dried, prepared food?
I am eyeing this Fuzzy Lion at the LFS.

Dried flake food will not do for a lion fish. Even feeding guppies and goldfish is not the best diet for them, they need meat thats marine in origin, silversides, shrimp or crab or the like.
If you had one that would readily take frozen as mentioned, they can go 3 days between meals if well fed, tho I personally wouldn't make them go any longer or very often.
