wanna start a salt water tank just asking whats a good saltwater beginner predator ?. for a 40 gallon b saltwater.. im very very familiar with fresh but wanna give saltwater a try but into predators ..
Id say some type of dwarf lion. There's a bunch but I personally like the fu manchu. They also are the smallest.wanna start a salt water tank just asking whats a good saltwater beginner predator ?. for a 40 gallon b saltwater.. im very very familiar with fresh but wanna give saltwater a try but into predators ..

Ya they are venomous but as long as you stay away from those top dorsal spines, you'll be good. There are other more suitable beginner preds but your tank size kinda makes them unsuitable. Lions are still beginner friendly except for the fact that it takes time to get them off live. Most lfs don't try to switch them but if you find 1 that's already off live, you're golden. Just stay away from volitans. You might be able to get away with a radiata but I don't recommend it since they still get a good size, but any of the dwarfs are fine.Thanks a lot for the replies u guys like I said beginner saltwater are lions venomous?. And will just one do OK by itself in a 40 b
