Dwarf Lionfish and hermit crab?

[deborah]

I am getting a 90 gallon tank soon I hope and plan on getting a dwarf lionfish. I also have a very large hermit crab I call hermie. My question is would hermie be safe in this tank and if so what else could I put in it? Any replies welcome.

Hi, Ive got an antennata (dwarf lion) and its never bothered any of my hermits.
Good luck with your tank

Unless you've reallly got your heart set on a dwarf you could get at least a couple(maybe more depending on the species) of the bigger species for around the same price +/- $20. I wish my fiancee would ley me get something the tiniest bit aggressive but she wants "pretty sweet fish".

I have heard Dwarfs are tough to feed or they really don't eat. Has anyone had such problems??

hawkeye,
i had a dwarf fuzzy for a few days. He never ate in my tank and died in a few days. i was sad, and i don think ill try lions for a while, but thats just me. On of my friends has one that doinggreat, so it really depends on the case.

I am planning on buying one from my LFS so I will be able to see if it is eating or not before I buy him.
