yes it will be fine, they don't eat crabs, just don't have any fish in there that can fit into his mouth.

why you want to get rid of it? If you are going to get rid of it dont get it! A antennata,radiata, and dwarf lions can live in a 90gal for life(sorry about the mis spelled words
)

if you want a lion try a fuzzy dwarf lion. mine doesn't even eat my shrimps let alone fish. it use to eat feeder fish and i'm sure it still would but i got him in with a damsel about an inch long and hasn't touched it.

hi,
i'm sorry to butt into the conversation, but, a 90 gal is not a bit enough tank for any typ of schooling butterfly. Schooling Chomis? Yeah. If that's what you're looking for. You could about 6 chromis and like one drawf pygmy angel. Maybe even just stick with just the chromis for a while and build up a nice reef with some inverts. I guarantee you'll get much more satisfaction than cramming a bunch of fish in a tank that's too small and then having to fight the disease and problems that follow. ...there's nothing worse for a hobbyiest (aka, fannatic (obsetionist (sp?

neon goby probably too small thickness wise. damsels are fine but some of them get really aggressive. the least aggressive are the yellowtail blue damsels and the black and white damsels. my fuzzy is in with a yellowtail blue damsel.
