Considering a Lion, please review my stock and give your opinion.

Like the title says, im considering a lion fish for my 90 gallon reef. I want to know if there are any species that are compatable with what I have.

Corals:
All types, SPS, LPS, Softies, Leathers, etc.

Inverts:
Large Cleaner Shrimp
Large Brittle Star
Hermits/ Snails
Tiger Tail Cucumber

Fish:
Yellow Tang
Melanarius Wrasse
Bi Color Blenny
Large Green Chromis
Draggonnet (not manderin)
Small Clown fish
Ghost Ribbon Eel
Spotbreast Angelfish

Is there any species of Lion that will work with my current stock?

 

Your smaller fish may end up as a meal.... Lions from what I have read have been seen to eat fish half there size.

 

I have three smaller fish, my green chromis is full grown but is still not huge, my clown is pretty small, and the bi color blenny is pretty small even though its full grown.

 

Your shrimp would probably become food too. Also Lions are hard on water quality. They produce a lot of waste. That said they usually don't go well with corals. I'm sure lionfishlair will chime in, they are the resident experts on lions and scorps.

 

A dwarf lion can be put in a reef, but like all lions it will eat whatever will fit in its mouth. You can get a small one that will do fine for a while, but your bi-color and shrimp would likely fall prey before long.

 

What lion were you considering? Any chance a Fu is desireable?

Fu Manchu Stats.

 

Genicanthus melanospilos is actually considered a "large" angelfish, which generally don't play well with lionfish...the common name you used had me confused for a bit until I realized that your angel is a Japanese Swallowtail (the most common "common" name for the fish).

That being said, since genus Genicanthus angels are planktivores, I suspect it may not cause problems with the lionfish, but if you move forward, I'd definitely have a Plan B.

 

I've got a dwarf fuzzy lion in my 20gal, along with two clowns, two brittle stars, peppermint shrimp, asst. snails and crabs and he doesn't seem to bother any of them.
On the other hand, over the past year I've had numerous other inhabitants either jump out or "disappear". That being said, move forward with caution if you do.

 

A 20 gal is a tad tight for a fuzzy, actually. As for jumping, be aware that all fish can jump, and fuzzies are particularly adept at it...those big pectorals can give them some "spring". If your tank isn't covered, you might consider it.
