Basslets

Is it possibe to keep a lantern basslet and a chalk basslet in the same tank given their different color patterns. There is a lantern basslet in one of the aquariums at the hospital where I work and he is a cool little fish, constantly begging at the glass trying to get everyone's attention. I'm in the process of setting up 100gFOWLR with inverts also and want to know if the basslets will feed on the inverts. The articles that I've seen said they are reef compatable and I'm assuming most reef tanks have inverts also.
Thanks
 
Basslets are basically mini groupers. They are considered semi aggressive and they will eat small fish and inverts. You should be okay with them in a 100 gallon tank together just have alot of rock and hiding places for them to get away from each other.
I read to articles that they are ok in a reef, but they are predators.
