Would an average size Radiata Lionfish eat a large Sleeper Goby?

Hey .. I was just wondering if an average size Radiata Lionfish would eat a large Sleeper Goby?

I think you should define your Lion's size and type of Goby you are thinking about. Mainly because an Orange Spotted Sleeper grows to 6" while a Striped (Fat) Sleeper grows to 26" (just found that out). Then I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable people will be able to give a clearer answer.

Yeah, I too would like to know how large the lion is and what kind of goby we are talking about.

ok .. I wanted an orange spotted sleeper goby ... that's about 5-6 inches .. and the lion would be a little bit bigger than that .. maybe 6 inches .. something like that .. what size do you think I should get?

After seeing your current stocklist, I would not recommend getting any more fish for that tank at this point.
