What evidence do we have that they are harmed? I attract them with cheese whiz, then shoot them in the face take them home and cook/eat them. I'm not sure where the issue is here.

Lettuce works on our "locals"
I'm confused - how is this different than cheese whiz?

Those who feed the fish here seem to prefer peas... I still prefer rubbing two rocks together. When I said "natural" I wasn't necessarily referring to something they eat in their local environment, but to foods they can eat that are not processed like cheez whiz.

I certainly hope you keep that in mind when the great white, tiger or bull shark decides to chomp down

Can I feed cheese wiz if I only feed it to the lionfish?
I met a guide in Thailand who was feeding/attracting a local eel with Vienna sausages but one day was too slow getting the little sausages out of the bag. Guess what part of the body looks like a Vienna Sausage when you dive.
NO....he had trunks on.
It was his thumb. Munch, crunch and with a yell underwater the finger was gone. Later a doctor in Bangkok replaced his miss thumb with one of is toes...and it works. When I dove with him I didn't even noticed.Since then I have seen the YouTube video of the incident and also saw it on Netflix ,"When Fish Attack" with an interview with him.

LOL, such a good point, how easily the food chain can be turned on it's head.
I personally don't like feeding fish anything, I could careless about their diet, I just don't like to see marine behavior altered. God knows we've been going through at least 5 years of bone heads believing they are teaching groupers and morays to each lion fish by hand feeding them speared ones. 5 years later we have no groupers or morays who now love the taste of lionfish, but we've got plenty of them that follow divers around because they associate divers with free food now. It's kind of cool for about 60 seconds to have a huge grouper follow you on your dive, then it turns into a pain in the ass.

What the he** kind of eels was he feeding? I'm talking about Sargasso eels in Vortex Spring. They have teeth like catfish and will nibble fingers, but they are harmless.

LOL. I was kidding. I don't really do that. But it's fun to wind people up sometimes.

Where exactly is this huge grouper that follows divers? I'm pretty sure I can resolve that issue and have a nice dinner too

Have you seen the teeth on a moray eel? They look like the teeth on a barracuda.
