If you get them in frozen no. If they're freshly imported it's more difficult. Feed them live till they get comfortable and they'll think you bring them food. Then you introduce you're feeding device like a skewer. Poke the live shrimp or whatever through the tail or something and feed it, after a few days of that try frozen on there and BAM!

never had a lion but when I had a picky eater I would just not feed them anything for a week. then drop in a silver side.

When I was a kid fish ate what they were given and liked it! There were starving fish in Africa

You can do guppies, but only for very short term, aren't good for saltwater fish in the long run.

They are coral safe, will eat smaller fish and shrimp. Best bet is to get a fu Manchu if you have smaller fish and such, but they can be harder to wean onto frozen.

i just think it be neat to have one with a bunch of stoney corals ... and some snails ... no shrimp ...
maybe a urchin

 

[LIttle Reef Keeper]

Dwarf fuzzies have the smallest mouth and are the least likely to eat fish. But they're not safe if the lion isn't fed often.
