Tiger jawfish?

I came across one of these guys the other day and he was getting picked on by a parrot fish so I took him home (amazing price too) but my question is, can they co-exsist with pearly jawfish? I intended on getting a pair soon but couldnt resist the beauty of this fish. Anyone have experiance with these guys??? Thanks in advance

I did a quick search on this fish as I like him myself they are classed as a good reef fish friendly with everyone but their own kind so I would say the answer is no they do not get along together.
Its one of those things with a large enough tank where there is enough room for both to be able to have their own territories it just might work.

I have a tiger jawfish, and he is my fav fish. I only have the one, so not sure if another type of jaw would work or not.. He does give any other fish "the mouth" if they get to close to his cave, but its all show, the other fish just ignore him. I would think if your tank is large enough, it might work.
