hmmm i have one too mine is housed in my 100 gallon tank....
he lives there with a blue hippo tang, a 3 stripped damsil, 2 yellow tail damsils, a mandarin goby, a tomato clown, a siscor tail goby, a blue damsil, an engineer goby, a white ribbon eel lots of corals and inverts....
he gets along peacefully with every one never had a problem with anything i would just say hes fine with pretty much anything bigger than his mouth.... i have smaller fish and hes never looked at one....
hope that helps

My next-door neighbot had a small one in his tank with a huge hermit crab and one night the crab snuck up behind the lion and actually took a bite. It killed the lion!!
Not even sure if that's an anomoly or not but I wouldn't want to shell out $$$ and emotional energy into a lionfish and then have my hermit kill it!!

that is an awesome looking fuzzy, mine is red where yours is yellow. i have mine in with a maroon clown, cherub angel, queen angel, and a fiji devil blue damsel for fish wise. invert wise i have him in with tons of hermits, emerald crab, purple lobster, few turbo snails, cleaner and a fire shrimp. i think i have the only lion that won't eat live shrimp.
