So I couldn't resist and I bought an oriental sweetlips a few weeks ago. I know they grow huge, and I have a 500 gallon tank. He's 7 inches and doing really well in quarantine, eats like a pig, frozen and pellets.
I've read that in the wild, their main diet are crustaceans and invertebrates. But, and this is why I'm worried now.. will it eat my anthias? And my watchman goby?

Great looking fish! I personally don’t know much about them, other than as you say, they get big. But so is a 500 gallon. Lol!
 
as an adult he probably will. i have a 3 inch one but id say wait for someone with a large one.
