It looks like that grouper has been conditioned to feed on whatever the divers bring to it. Notice how it tries to eat the plastic bag before the Lionfish is released.
It is widely believed that if larger reef fish begin to utilize Lionfish as a food source then the population of Lionfish will be kept in check.
I believe they are "training" this grouper to feed on Lionfish.

Yes. Previously thought that Lionfish had no natural enemies in Florida waters. Couple years ago a Yellow mouth grouper was caught on video hunting down and eating a lionfish in the Bahamas. A group in Florida goes out catches lionfish and drops them in grouper holes essentially "training" them to eat Lions.
Speaking of eating them, you can get some pretty damn good tasting meat off the bigger ones. Had a Lionfish Sammy in Marathon that was great.
