My LFS had one in a 700g cube. It was awesome. The fish was about 24" and stunning. Ultimately the guy put in a prized large rare lionfish in there and they decided to fight...the lion won.

Sam, I've kept several species, including great barracuda, don't have any now or photos, but they were pretty easy to keep, being sort of shy except if they were going to eat something. I think I had 3 different species, there are six from here. They didn't do well from the ocean to home if I remember right, but the ones that made it to the tanks did well. I kept them from 60 gal preditory cube to 125 reef with some small ones, the tank situation didn't make a difference, but they were very timid, and easily bullied by anything (I had a queen angel and some cherubs with them) that was active and not shy.
