What happened?

Anthias are famous for picking off the one that doesn't fit in. I'm quite sure the other anthias did that to your little guy, either because it was another male or a dominant competing female, or just not one of the cool kids, or.... their social hierarchy is pretty brutal.

Not sure what kind of lionfish you have, but they all grow very quickly (except maybe the dwarfs), and if you have small clowns and anthias in the tank with a big lionfish, they are going to get eaten eventually. You may want to rethink your stocking plan. They are not likely to peacefully coexist for long.

The lionfish is already huge. I bought a complete system from Giau and it included the fish, I sold some of the fish to my neighbor but he didn't want the lionfish. I took it to my lfs and the guy wanted to give me $40 dlls in store credits(he only had some yellow tangs, clowns, and snails), so I decided to keep it.

I will try to find a new home for the lion fish, but for now I hope he doesn't eat anyone.

Well in that case.... PM sent.
