getting an okinawa dragon moray <basically same as Hawaiin>. My problem is I've been getting conflicting information on what to keep him with. Some say he'll be fine with large predators <puffers, lions, wrasses, etc> while others say the best option is massive schools of smaller fish <chromis, damsels, etc>. What's your collective thoughts on this? The tank is pretty small, only a 125 so the eel could have easy pickings. However, these guys supposedly eat mainly octo's and the such on open sand beds, so I'm not sure how oppertunistic he'll behave.
Thanks for any help.

A Large Lionfish (volitans). Not even a large Dragon moray will try to swallow that. Plus the Lion will not harm anything it cannot swallow.
Large triggers might be O.K. as well, but may bite at the fins of the eel.
