Dwarf Zebra Lionfish in a reef

[dermer]

so can a Dwarf Zebra Lionfish be kept in a reef tank what are your thoughts and experinces with this up for any info thanks

It would be reef safe in the fact that it wouldn't eat your corals.
You'd defiantly have to watch the size of any other fish you put in with it.
Do not underestimate the size of this guy's mouth. If it isn't larger then they are, They may decide its worth trying to eat.
Hermits and snails are generally safe but any shrimp would be considered food.

I put one in my 55g, he died in three days! He ate so I dont know what may have killed him!

he will definately eat all of your shrimp and any fish smaller than him.

Hmmm, I may have lucked out with one that doesn't have a taste for shrimp as I have 4 cleaner shrimp and 4 peppermints in my 270 and my dwarf doesn't pay any mind at all to them.

It has gotten a couple of my barnacle blennies though and it is constantly stalking them as well as my neon cleaner gobies.
