This dataset contains results from experiments conducted in the  Bahamas and the Cayman Islands. Experiments examined whether or not invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) ate cleaner gobies of the genus Elacatinus. Data include the number of gobies eaten, the number of strikes made against the goby and the time it took to strike, and the time passed before predation occurred.
