LionFish in a Reef tank?

[deborah]

Is this a safe combination or would the lion end up killing my polyps and mushrooms?

The lionfish will not bother corals, but will eat any fish or crab it can get into his mouth. Since lionfish grow very large, they are not recommended for reefs. They will produce a lot of waste as they grow bigger. They generally need live food at first, but can be taught to eat shrimp as they get used to aquarium life.

Not a good mix. They will eat fish and crustaceans and need a lot of swimming space.

I'll let you know how it goes over time. Ive got an Antenatta in my tank that im converting to reef. So far he doesnt bother anyone or anything in the tank Kinda a loner.
He will be in this tank until I get my next tank paid for and running.
