A Moorish Idol is definately NOT an angel and I would suggest staying away from them for a long time. Even VERY experienced hobbyists have a hard time keeping them alive.

I don't know much about Lions but I see you're already on the sticky lion thread.

Your doing the right thing by researching before buying. Please keep that practice up and don't buy a fish just b/c your LFS says you can. 99.9% of the time, they don't care if the fish dies, they just want to make the sale and get you to buy more.

My gut feeling is that you need to start out with some much smaller and more docile fish before moving to a grouper or lion.

Good luck!
