So im in school for the next 6 weeks. I went around today after school to all the palces that sell marine here and wow did I ever fall in love! I found a 3" Fu Man Chu that is so awesome. I instantly fell in love, and as a plus he already eats frozen foods!
So my question is would I be able to put him in my tank and get along with my 2 radiatas? There about 5" or so.

wow-- choices in life.... i have to admit w/o seeing your current P radiatas, I'm not sure what to tell you. In general lionfish will eat other much smaller lionfish, but the size differential here might not be an issue.
I had a full sized adult P volitans wolf down a newly introduced P radiata, that was slightly smaller than 1/2 the P volitans.
But Volitans lions are a special case- they cannibalize their young, so they will try pretty much anything.
