Stocking Options

Hey guys starting a 40G breeder tank(diary is in the reef discussion section) and I know I want a Fuzzy dwarf lion fish. I don't however know what else I want to keep with him that would be compatible. I had a 14G Biocube for years so I always limited to what I could keep so I am a little over whelmed on my options.I know the rule that anything that will fit in it's mouth is fish food.
The only other fish I was thinking was a Midas Blenny but was unsure if that would work well because from the size descriptions I have been reading they would be similar to the Fuzzy.
Any ideas?

The key here is "size differential"...make sure that the tankmate in question is at LEAST 1/2 to 3/4 the size of the lion. With blenny-shaped fish, I'd stay on the large side since they can be swallowed a bit more easily.
We keep some of our Dendrochirus lions with waspfish, which are about the size of a blenny, give or take.
