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

At least it's not deadly

Im not sure why people dont put them into reefs, bue maybe some one could provide some inset as to why they are not reef safe.
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.

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 )Once I had mine eating other than live,did very well and grew fast.
