lions are classed as "aggressive" but they are actually quite mellow as far as predators go. avoid fin nippers (like puffers), and anything known to be overly aggressive (like clown triggers).

i would avoid hermits myself in a lion tank. the chance a lion eats a hermit is very slim, but a lion's first instinct is to swallow anything small enough that moves. if it tries a hermit, it would have to regurgitate the thing. if it cant manage that, then the lion is done for. snails would be a better choice for CUC.
Thank-you, I will read the thread...and as I'd really like to get a refugium anyhow and only have a couple of hermits maybe I'll just put them in there, I wouldn't want the fuzzy to choke or the crabs to be choked-upon (doesn't seem fun
I don't really want anything else agressive in there, just another maybe 1, 2 or 3 fish that are big enough not to be eaten but not too big that they wouldn't be happy in a 65. (the dimensions are 36w x 18w x 24h, I think)
Thanks everyone for the info!
