Are Dwarf lions reef safe?

to the best of my knowledge the problem would be the same with both. they will eat any small fish or inverts that they could fit in their mouths. as far as corals go you sholdnt have any problems.

They are reef safe. They will not eat or mess with your corals. Usually these guys will find a ledge or shaded area and just literally hang out.
Now reef safe does not mean they will not eat your shrimp or smaller fish although i had a good sized antennatta in with a coral banded with no problems, they even shared a perch. Shrimp and smaller fish are fair game but as said those are not covered by the words "reef safe".

snails, hermits starfish, urchins, cukes are fine.
Just what is your defintion of reefsafe, as mentioned w/ a dwarf lion in the tank you won't be able to keep moving inverts or small reef fish. Also try to wean said lion over quickly to prepared foods, else may you'll have some issue feeding them live foods in the reef
