Hey all,
I'm looking for a partner for my fuzzy dwarf lion in a 40gal tank with 45 lbs live rock. It's been up for about 7 months. I was thinking of getting a maroon and an anemone or a coral beauty. These fish will be too large to be eaten by the lion (she's about 2 inches). However, I'm worried about the fuzzy stinging them. How likely is this?

it's not very likely that you will have compatability problems with any of these fish. a maroon clown, a dwarf angel, and a dwarf lion would make a great tank.
i would skip the anemone unless you have metal halide lighting.

I have a fuzzy dwarf and a maroon clown together. My fuzzy dwarf is huge and she does not bother my maroon whatsoever. They have been together close to two years now.
I agree with everything NEreef said.

I don't think Lions make it a habit of stinging anyone, unless they feel threatened. A Maroon or a Dwarf Angel would be good companions. I have a Mombasa Lion with a Maroon and a Flame Back Angel, and all is well.

yeah, i've had mine for about a week. he (or at least i'm assuming it's a he since it has five or six stripes on the lateral fins) is about 2 inches. from what i've read the max. size is about 6-7 inches. it's just hard to imagine a little fuzzy that big.
have you had your lion since it was small? if so, how fast did he/she grow?
