I have never seen a dead snapper floating around Coz. I have asked many dms if they have also. Zero. To say that lion fish have no natural predators is the height of arrogance. Anything that eats them is natural in my view. And there are lots of predators eating them. I have had snappers follow me as others have and fed them the spoils. Difference with mine is I dont kill the lion fish. They are wounded. The snappers eats them while alive. Maybe you wont believe this but I look for markings on the snappers so I can tell if it is the same one on my subsequent dives. The same ones seemed to follow us. Same with a couple groupers. You cant tell me they are not learning to eat them. They are. The video is point blank proof. I am very pleased that there are positive people trying to do something to assist nature in this area of food source. I think that once they see how easy it is to get them they are doing it.
