    Six months ago I put 8 chromis in my 150g that has a dwarf fuzzy lion. The chromis were not big enough, the lion went to town. The funny thing is 1 chromis made it through the initial blood letting and the lion doesn't look twice at him now - weird.

    Your fuzzy, even if small, will grow faster than those chromis. It's a risk. You pretty much have to think if the risk is worth it to you.

    +1 Exactly.

    As also stated earlier, if it fits in the lion's mouth, it will be food. Keep in mind that the lion's mouth is larger than it looks- lionfish can swallow prey as large as 2/3rds their own body size.
