On a recent trip to Utila diving with our friends at UDC (Utila Dive Center) we observed some interesting behavioral changes in the Lionfish population. The day before this video, I was returning from a deep trimix dive and we'd shot about 5 Lionfish and had them in the bag. We are fairly certain this same eel came out looking to gain access to our lionfish catch. We shot the bag of lionfish to the surface with a lift bag to prevent this. The very next day this video was shot by a friend. The eel seemed a bit unhappy about the obvious stings it had received but was just fine a bit later. Lionfish vs. Eel - YouTube
