So far he's been really peaceful in my tank.
My panther grouper tends to be territorial towards him, though.

They won't get along once the grouper gets some size on it...the smaller fish will become food. I kinda hate to mention it, but your tank (even at 200 gals) is a bit tight for a full-grown panther grouper. They reach about 20" in the wild, so count on about 16"+ for a healthy, well-fed captive specimen.

Hey, would my PG try to eat an arrow crab? Or would they be compatible?
