All you can do is sit and watch. Lionfish don't attack or sting unless they are threatened or bothered to an extent. Did you see the lionfish sting him? If he was stung he should be pretty swollen...as that is what happens to humans who get stung.What size tank are they in and what kind of lionfish is it? Dwarf, volitan etc?

There are some types of fish that are unaffected by the lionfish venom, and your rabbitfish could possibly be one of them. The effects of the lionfish venom can be lessened by heat therapy (but the water needs to be 110° to 114° F), but you would essentially be cooking your fish alive. Unfortunately, it seems that the only thing you can do is monitor your fish....and you also might want to contact your local pet store - they might have some more information or tips for you. Good luck!

Your rabbit fox is going to die. The lion fish inject venom into fish threw their stings.

I doubt that there is much you can do. Just keep your fingers crossed and wait.
