Puffers too small for lionfish?

[steved]

I wanted to add a puffer fish that is only about 2 inches long to a tank with a lionfish that is about 4 inches long. Will I have to worry about the lionfish eating the puffer? If not, how small can the fish be before I have to worry about the lionfish eating it? Thanks all.

the rock says...
pufferfish are named that for a reason, its doubtful even if the lionfish goes after it that it will be able to put it in its mouth. the lionfish will likely NOT chase after a puffer. lionfish are compatible with most fish that are close to the same size or larger than they are.
