Scorpionfish in reef?

[fishhuman]

I noticed LA has leaf scorpions in stock and I wanted to know if anyone has kept these with reef fish? I know a lot of people keep dwarf fuzzy lions in their reefs that grow 7 inches. A leaf fish gets 4 inches. The smallest fish in the tank would be two 3 inch bangai cardinal. Is it safe to buy or a no no

Leaf scorpions? That's more like a waspfish.
Hmm... Wasps have slightly smaller mouths than most of their kind. It's a bit of a risk, but I'd say it should be okay... Wasps just sit, baggais are open-water fish.
Wasps are nice fish... I've kept a rooster wasp, and I like the look of the leafies.

I'm pretty sure there scorpions but ok thanks for the answer

Not sure which one they technically are, but leaf fish (AKA leaf scorpions) are more like waspfish than scorpionfish in many ways. And yes, I know waspfish are a variety of scorpionfish, but they do behave slightly differently. Also, they tend to have slightly smaller mouths.
