what clean-up crew for a lion tank?

[johnap]

I'm starting a 180 and thinking about the clean-up crew I'd need If I put in a fuzzy dwarf lion. Everything I read says lions eat anything that moves, does this include hermits, starfish or snails?
Thanks

You should be fine with that clean up crew, mine have snapped at hermits when the hermits change shells, no problems with snails but they can, star fish are fine.

Here is the lion info sheet that will guide you more with your lion.

Lionfish dont eat snails, urchins or starfish. They might eat cleaner shrimp or crabs but for the most part you can use most cleaner animals with them. I dont think they would really go after hermits either. They dont have teeth and typically dont "always" hunt. Mine eat when theyre hungry and ONLY food that is moving in the water column.

snails, hermits, and starfish are not on my lions menu. he ignores them on a regular basis.

snails, urchins, starfish are cool. My lion and i have heard of some others that will kill hermits when they change shells.

my lion has learnt to pick hermit shells up till they run then he eats them
