In addition to my lionfish video, we did one of just the eel during feeding time.

yeah, but how often do you feed him that much? Your water quality would take a serious dive if you fed that much to him every day.

In the lionfish video your hand actually brushed its fins, I would watch out, what are you feeding it?

small silversides..... those long fins are not the problem, on the Volitian, it's the ones on the head you have to watch out for, been stung once was like a fire ant sting, didn't hurt after a few minutes...
