Thanks! Did some quick research. No wonder the darn thing kills almost everything in my tank. ;)
Anything that can co-exist with it?

yeah look up the arabian dottyback even prettier and maybe even a worse temperament, some say the captive bred are less aggressive, didnt seem to matter much and mine went back to the store after abusing the wrasses I began to add.

I may have to get rid of mine. I have not found anything I can add without him picking on it.

I actually like the Lion fish. But would that be cruel? ;)
Is there a LFS that might take this guy in? I like the guy. But it sucks I can't add another fish.

usually fish stores will take them back but 20-30 cents on the dollar roughly, saw this while looking for the Arabian pic, good info about them http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/dottybackschoose-carefully.htm image of Arabian here that is actually a poor picture, they are that much brighter in person and end up in tanks they should not be in as their colors are one of the best in the hobby, I had on in a fish only and it was ok but still tough to deal with, while they are reef safe they are about the only fish you could have with them they are so nasty
