Meh, sting from my fuzzy wasn't too bad - after I got my wrist into warm water.

At least it's not deadly

They are reef safe IMO. They only problem is that they will get big enough to knock over loose frags because some types like to perch, generally not volitons though. The other problem is that a lot of smaller fish associated with reefs will be too small and often consumed. You need to be careful when buying fish now because anything small enough to fit in his mouth is food. I'd wait a couple of months to get him really satisfied with frozen foods before putting any othe fish in the tank.

As danny said alot of people like the basslets, gobies, clowns and smaller fish they dont want a big fish that will eat those poor little guys.

I do disagree with the knocking down of corals though. If the corals are places securly they shouldnt knock them over.

Those guys are really nice I like the blue spots on the first one. Did you buy 1 or 2.

just one. I have not decided on tankmates, and likely won't for at least another 4 months

I saw these two going over each other and had to laugh... they have totally different agendas...

Wow, thats either one big shrimp or one small lionfish. Mine lets the cleaners pick every once in a while.

It is one teeny lionfish. like an inch long.

I love the lions,mine was nearly 10 inches long with a full set of display fins before I lost him.They will attempt to eat anything it can fit in its mouth(you'd be surprised :eek: )Once I had mine eating other than live,did very well and grew fast.

ive got a fu manchu lion in my tank and id say he is about an inch long at most... he likes to play games with my chromis...or is he trying to eat him....hmmm... anyways , beautiful animals and reff safe , if you want more info on lions and lion care , try www.grimreefers.com they have great resourses..
