This seems like a terrible idea. Morays don't think "this is a lion fish, I should start hunting them" they instead think, "there's a bubble blower, they sometimes represent a free meal."
 
Last year as we were finishing up our dive at Cedral Pass, my husband found this beauty. I cannot deny my eel crush. Seems I could not upload video from I Pad, so I uploaded it on my husband's Youtube account.

Maybe saw the same one, same spot last year. It was huge!
 
This is one of my wife's first times at video and she got this shot of an eel attacking a dive master for the lion fish that he had on a spear. The Moray chased him to the surface. Turn up your speakers to hear my wife's excitement. The good part starts at about a minute.
Lol...looks like a pretty good current.
 
This one was on the hunt in Bonaire... Love watching free swimming green morays!

 
One of my most memorable moray encounters was on a safety stop in Cozumel. We happened upon a large moray repeatedly attacking a group of lobsters around him. When the moray would advance on a lobster, the lobster would block him with its antennae, and if the moray got too close the lobster shot away backwards. We watched the same scene repeat as the moray chose different targets. The moray had achieved no success when our tanks got too low to watch any longer. I don't think anyone in our group had a camera.
