those 12 inch and below might be seen as food.
but ive had 13 inch endlis with 2-3 inch senegals before without problem.
the only time i had a poly and another was a hungry wild caught 12 inch lap eating a 3-4 inch ornate.
but i kept them very well fed.
im sure most others would say dont do it.

I have done it but the bid Endie doesen,t like its on kind smaller then them but with other species it seems to be fine rope fish also not a problem . and watch out for Lapradii they seem to have a problem being smaller the the Endi.just break the tank up make new and more hiding place and feed good should work.
If it were me, I wouldn't risk it. I've had polys eat each other before when there was a similar size difference. It all comes down to your decision. Is it worth the risk to YOU?
Yeah I've found that too, my large ornate lived happily with my CL's til I left them for 10 days with no food over xmas and 2 of the clowns went missing... 
well this mostly a bichir tank and the stay well fed, but i might just make that decision next month!

I used to keep 2 senegals with corys. Kept the senegals fed very well with daily pellet feeding. Still did not stop them from eating the corys.
When they are hungry and want something to snack on, I don't think that there is anything one can do to prevent basic instincts.

i lost 16 CLs in 2 nights because of my 12 endlis and a lap.
Hi, polys are fairly peaceful fishes as long as the fishes they are kept with are to big to be swallowed.
