lionfish compatibility

I am researching a fu manchu lionfish for my 30gallon saltwater I am working on. I was wondering if a wartskin angler that stays the same size can be kept with it. If it cannot what would be a tankmate if any?

fimbriated would eat it.
Dont know how big the barred morays get.
Big morays will eat lions though.

The barred gets about 10"

yah u can pop a moray in there.u can put a puffer in. a little grouper, tangs, triggerz, basically allot of the normal sltwater fishes just nothing like damsels and nemos they will get eating because of there size. what is the size of the lion? and are u going to do a fowler tank or a coral setup. u should get shrimp and snails. they will disaperar often but worth it. some fish may get harassed some might not. depending on the size of the lion. u will know there about to attack because they will back the other fish in the corner. just something to look out for.

tangs and triggers?!? are you serious? please make sure you read what size the tank is and make your tank mate suggestions accordingly, with that small of a tank, i would just do the lion and then a smaller growing moray like you were thinking, and they dont get big you could probably get away with some kind of damsel but i would make sure they are the same size when you add them or that the damsel is a bit bigger, usually damsels have enough of an attitude to be able to stand up for themselves
