They should be okay with them
 
I had one. Nice, peaceful but mainly nocturnal fish. It is a predator and can take down surprisingly large prey.

thanks for your reply.
I'm aware its a predator but wondering if its likely to target my damsels and small flame angel. its in my QT and has been for some weeks now. I was hoping for smaller but alas this is what was sent, so not the case of buying a fish without research but more a case of receiving something larger that offset my original plan.

so prey being shrimp or small fishes

Mine would sit in his cave and wait for dinner to swim past then take it down. He was lightning fast and not picky at all. A one inch fish is a meal.
 
These fish are quite peaceful and prefer groups. Should be good with your other fish.
 
gotcha you've got venom and spines..
my biggest convern is my cleaner wrasse. i think the dwarf angel can hang
Yeah but the cleaners create relationships with fish, Ive seen videos of them inside of huge trigger’s mouths cleaning and the trigger doesnt harm them. I could be wrong but I would think that fish wouldnt eat him because I think they all recognize what they are and do. My cleaners mess with all my predators (lion and marine betta only now) and neither eats him
