Many say you cannot --- zebras, Yet, others will disagree and claim, they are sexed like the fuzzy dwarfs. So lets look at both, so you can decide.
If you Can --- a zebra, than the same rule would apply as the fuzzy dwarfs, One Male per tank, and the rest should be females. So, in your 90g, you could have One Male and Two Females, that would make a nice group.
To --- a Fuzzy Dwarf, adult male Dwarfs have larger heads, longer pectoral fins, and 6 to 10 bands on their pectoral fins, females only have 4 to 6 stripes.
If you, do Not think you can --- a Zebra, than the same rule would apply, Only One Zebra per tank. If you add two Males to the same tank, they will fight, harass each other, cause stress, even cause one or both to jump.

The Radiata /white finned lionfish/clear finned, is a beautiful lion, they are not the easiest lion to keep, these take patience when weaning to frozen foods, for live you can try Ghost shrimp (feed them something nutritional first), fiddler crabs, even try crickets. For frozen I would try, krill, Raw shrimp, Raw Crab, Scallops and so on.... They usually take to shrimp and crab over silversides or frozen sand eels.
For your 90, you can get away with a Radiata and Volitan, But I would suggest the Russell's Lion for your 90 over the Volitan, they look like a volitan, without all the fin spots, they do however get 10 - 12 inches unlike the Volitan which reaches 12 - 15 inches. Watch your Bio-Load, add no other fish but these two.
I keep a Volitan Morph in my 90g along with my file-fish, it is very aggressive, and will kill other lions, my 90g is a mature tank that seems to handle the bio-load just fine. However, I am upgrading for the lion, it has a temper that is out of control, I am going to try a 6 foot tank to see if I can get him back under control.
