Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish

[JustKia]

Just thinking ahead, trying to do a bit of homework, before getting anything under way (I know there's a long way to go yet).
Ever since thinking of setting up a marine tank I've liked the idea of having a Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish Dendrochirus brachypterus.
I know they aren't as voracious as the P. volitans but what is their compatibility like?

Would a Dwarf Fuzzy Lion rule out having Percula or False percula clownfish?

Short term, you could buy adult clowns and a young fuzzy, but longterm, the fuzzy's mouth will be larger than the clowns, and they will fit in there...

Cheers.
I guess that means that the Dwarf Fuzzy Lion is relegated to the "want but can't have/look but don't touch" box!
The Dwarf Fuzzy will be my marine version of the BGK - that's in my "want but can't have/look but don't touch" box too.

As ski explained above it can be done on a temporary basis until the lion matures enough to see them as a snack..Check here, I'm doing it,lol.....

It's tempting, but I know I'd make a mistake if I bought something knowing it was only temporary.
Clowns and shrimp/crustaceans are definite inhabitants, so really have to work around them.

I'd love one of these little guys, but maybe one day - when I eventually get rich enough to have a big house and build a couple of 300Gal tanks... - I can dream LOL
