    Well i did some research on this fish: Leaf Fish
    and most sites say with caution. I dont have small fish exept for my clowns but they stay in their anemone. Other than that i have an engineer goby and a golden tonga blenny. I also want a pistol shrimp/shrimp goby pair, so i figured that the leaf couldnt get the shrimp in its burrow. I was also wanting soem cleaner shrimp, would they be okay?

    out of the scorpion, fish leaf fish have some of the smallest mouths to body racios. they get 4 inches and can swallow things about half to one fourth there size. you should be fine just make sure that everything you have is close to full grown or is a lot larger than the leaf fish.
