As this sensational video shows, culling lionfish is not without its risks.  Jason endorses support of organizations like REEF.org to help with their marine conservation and education programs.

This post has admittedly little to do with aquariums except one very important lesson (one we’ve spoken about many times before): NEVER dispose of your aquarium contents – livestock, substrate/decoration, even water – into local bodies of water.  Irresponsible actions like this not only potentially upend native ecosystems with invasive species but also endanger people who have to clean up your mess.
