Hello guys...
I got my lionfish about a month ago and well I would like to add something else to the tank, I have in mind some blue and also chocolate chip starfish but I'm curious if there's any anemone that will be able to co-exist with them?
Thanks for the help....

Depending on what type of lionfish it is, a P volitans versus a dwarf fuzzy the rules change a wee bit.
BUT My rules of thumb are- any fish which doesn't fit into the lionfish's mouth, or doesn't harass or pick on the lion (such as puffers, triggers, etc) is also fine.
Lionfish are really not aggressive fish- they dont bother anything they cant eat.
So for blue- maybe a blue tang(tank size dependent), and yes lionfish dont bother starfish, cukes, urchins, or hermit crabs
