They "will" eat shrimps, crabs, and small fish. No coral will be harmed. They also excrete alot of waste which can make maintaining reef quality conditions more difficult. So if you hvae no fish smaller than the lion, and no shrimp or crabs smaller than the lion its fully reef compatible.

I've never seen a lionfish eat a crab, however, if you have any shrimp or small fish they will certainly be dinner.

Thank you for your help. I was worried it was going to harm the coral. I have nothing smaller then its mouth.
