USGS finds yellow tang and panther grouper off Florida Coast - Page 2 - Reef-Geeks

I was just coming back to edit my post and include that information. Lionfish have been classified as an invasive species here in Florida. You can net, or kill them on site.

They are even now being included on some menus in restaurants, and a book is also now being circulated/sold.

There was also a press release at the time when the Department of Environment lifted restrictions on cooking and eating lionfish The Observer on Sunday :: How to cook lionfish

As for Hobbyist here in Florida, or anywhere:
If your going to release your captive Lionfish (or any fish for that matter), take it to your LFS. They will most likely give you a small store credit that is worth more than the gas you will spend driving to the beach.

There was a recent article saying that eating lionfish might not be a good thing due to ciguatoxin concentrations.

More data emerges about ciguatera toxin in lionfish « Green Antilles

If I recall correctly, only the fish in the Bahamas were tested, but you gotta wonder.
