Fussy dwarf/ Fu-Man Chu Lionfish
 
Been debating for a few months now whether or not to buy a smaller lionfish..

Do Fuzzy dwarfs and fu man chu lions get aggresive towards other fish like clowns, jawfish, and hawkfish?

I've held multiples with no aggression issues at all. Those Fu-Manchu's are amazingly beautiful creatures. They look amazing in close up pics.

They are generally pretty friendly unless there are small fish that can fit in their mouths. Those tiny fish will likely end up in there. lol.

Agreed ^

Just make sure the one you buy is already eating frozen food. Most will refuse to eat frozen and can be quite hard to get eating anything other then live. Mine eat krill and mysis and both (I have a fu-manchu and red fuzzy) were eating before I bought them. Fyi fuzzy dwarfs are usually easier to get eating then fu-man's.

I have a dwarf hi fin that is super cute and cool to watch however he lives in the refuge and not the main display because my hands are in the tank too much I am scared that I will get stung. He eats krill and is very fun to feed.

I was looking for a Fu man chu that ate frozen but they are few and hard to come by, majority of the ones arriving will not even look at frozen, meaning I would have to feed live and that could get costly. When I saw the hi fin dwarf eat frozen he was a total winner, if you find one that eats frozen snag it up. As I said they have puppy like personalities when he sees me he spits water and bounces up and down like a dog waiting to be pet. Really cool fish!
