Dwarf Lionfish in Reef tank?

[Ruth]

I believe the biggest problem with having lion fish in a reef tank, other than they will eat any fish that will fit in their mouth, is that they require a fairly heavy feeding schedule and are messy eaters which usually contribute to higher nitrates which the corals don't like.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll have to think about it a little more, but sounds like it is doable if I watch the water quality closely.

In terms of the other fish becoming meals if I get a relatively small Lionfish as it grows it's tankmates will also grow hopefully staying large enough to avoid becoming food and by the time it is full grown hopefully it will not see the other fish as food..
