Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish

[nanoreefer22]

For the new tank, I want to have a unique set of fish in the tank, but also want them to be able to play nice with one another.

You guys think a dwarf fuzzy lionfish would be okay?

Other than that I'm planning to have:

2 Clowns
A few wrasses
A longnose hawk
A bicolor blenny
A royal gramma

Those are all I can think of for now that MIGHT end up in the tank.

Would I be okay with the fuzzy lion?

It will be fine as long as the other fish aren't small enough to fit in his larger than you think mouth.

Sweet. He'll probably be the last thing or one of the last in the tank.

What is this lionfish month on MR? LOL....More threads in the last week on lions than I've seen since I joined. I admit I have always liked them a lot but I'm afraid of one making a meal out of my clownfish

"Dwarf" just means that they don't grow as large as most of the other lions. These still get to be 7" with a mouth that explodes open to probably close to 3" or more. The fish you named as tankmates are all shaped just right for being swallowed. If you want to house the lion than you need to stock the rest of the tank around it's maw.
