This is what I'm really worried about, I'd just hate to get him then have my lunare or grouper chase him out of the tank or kill him. The one I saw at the lfs is about 3 inches and still is a juvi. Right now I'd say there's a 50/50 chance that either the lunare and grouper would care less about him and ignore him or they would gang up and kill him. On one hand I'd hate to miss out on this cool fish if it turns out they'd all get along but then on the other hand if the other fish start picking on him I think I'd have a hard time re-homing him, assuming I can catch him before he buries himself in the sand or gets killed. Ugh I wish I could somehow pre-determine how the other fish would respond to him. I know my tank set up is perfect for him, it's just not knowing how the other fish will react to him that's bothering me and unfortunately there's only one way to find out for sure.
