Well, yes, but you'd have to be talking SUPER SMALL FISH and INVERTS. Think Trimma gobies and sexy shrimp small. And let's face it, what doesn't eat those?

For the record, I've kept them with all manner of Lystmata shrimps and blennies without issue (6-8" individual).

I really wish this fish wasn't so overlooked due to its status as a "grouper". It's a fantastic reef fish.
