Years ago my brother had a 40g cube in his bedroom with a dendrochirus brachypterus named Linus.
Only other things he had in there were snails, hermit crabs and a ton of live rock.
because he themed the tank around that one inhabitant it was super low maintenance, the fish was very happy and I found him to be active and personable.
He would follow you around hopping from rock to rock and then waiting at the surface for you to drop some food in.
As a predatory fish, you can feed them smelt, shrimp or any kind of marine meat. they do not need live.
volitans lionfish on the other hand, I had trouble getting me little guy on to dead food.
be careful not to overfeed as all lionfish are greedy
