    Puffers also like nippin at lionfish fins.

    had my 55 with a snowflake,dwarf zebra lion and two domino damsels (awful i know)
    and the lion was the most passive of the group.

    IMHO, the best eel to put with a dwarf lion would be a GDM (Golden Dwarf Moray/Gymnothorax melatremus ). They stay small (10"-12"), so they really can't become a problem in terms of eating their tankmates. Our SFE became super aggressive once it hit about 18" - 20", which tends to be the case with them.

    We kept a trio of Holanthias borbonius for several years with a couple of our dwarf lionfish, and they were a nice addition.
