dwarf lions in a reef or a f/o?

I think you can do a Dwarf Lion in a Reef. You just have to be more careful about the fish with him. It can also be more difficult to maintain the stringent parameters required by Coral when you have a messy lion in the tank.

+1, they are coral safe, but defintinely not shrimp safe. Some people even have problems with them eating their snails, but that isn't as common. Be very careful with the other fish in the tank...make sure that they aren't too small. Good luck.
