Hello everyone,
I was at the LFS today picking up some de-chlorinator and I saw a beautiful 2-inch long dwarf lionfish. I have been looking around online and it seems that these fish will not bug any of my corals, but I was wondering if one could eat any of my fish. In the 90 gallon reef tank that I hope to add it to, I have a blue hippo tang and a pink spotted shrimp goby that I think would be big enough to not be threatened, but I also have a pair of adult Percula clowns, a longnose hawkfish, and a trio of adult green chromis that I am not so sure would be safe. I have had all of these fish at least two years and the smaller ones are all at their adult sizes. I am quite sure they could not fit in the lionfish's mouth currently but what are the chances of some of these guys disappearing in several months when this lion has grown?
Thanks,
Turbo Snail
