those guys grow quite small, could they live with large gobies, clownfish, royal grammas, longnose hawkfish, anthias, and cardinal fish? If not, are there smaller lionfish besides them? Thanks

any dwarf/ medium sized lion can live with a snowflake eel. The radiata lion, or antenatta are great choices.i would also like to know what kind of tankmates the fu manchu has, im thinking of putting one with my snowflake eel reef tank
I wouldnt trust a dwarf lion species with any fish I wouldnt be willing to lose. I had a fu man chu eat a nice size six line wrasse when I owned onethose guys grow quite small, could they live with large gobies, clownfish, royal grammas, longnose hawkfish, anthias, and cardinal fish?

Thank you! One probably ridiculous follow-up question: I know anglers are generally recommended to be kept in species tanks, but could Fu Manchus or other appropriately sized dwarfs be kept in a tank with anglers? Because I love look of anglerfish, but I know they’re not exactly super active/interesting fish to watch most of the time.They can live happily with all the other lions, they are not so small to eaten. A fu will eat fish in the sixline/damsel size range and smaller, as long as sized appropriately larger species will not be threatened. The fu is likely the most difficult lion to care for, and rarely live long if live foods are not included in their diet. If you click my name and "find all threads" you can find tons of info on their care.
