    lionfish get quite large no? would not be a long term fish in the tank I think. I also remember reading they are jerks and will kill/eat other fish and invertibrates?

    yeah they do get very big, and removing it could be problematic since they have those poisonous stingers. although the dwarf fuzzy ones get  about 7 inchs. i still wouldnt want it in a tank any smaller then 75

    You said dwarf fuzzy? A dwarf fuzzy should be just fine in a 30 as long as its by itself. They tend to stay small and the usual min recommended tank size is 30gal. I say you should be fine as long as there aren't any other fish in the tank with it.

    You could even put it in a reef if there aren't any small fish or shrimp you are atached to.

    they are extremely shy and difficult to feed. It would be OK in that size tank since they tend to just scoot around, just get one that is feeding well

    You could try a marine Betta. They are really pretty and not aggressive if that's what you're looking for

    well i have a bc 30 reef tank and now i have a 30 long and at first i was going to make another reef but i have never had just cool fish like the ones found in fowlr tanks so i kinda just wanted a small one of those to try it out and it seemed like the lion was small and good looking fish

    If you really want a Fuzzy and a Dragon...Pet's Playhouse has both. Was there the other day...both look very healthy / decent price too. I agree that the Fuzzy would be fine in your 30. The Dragon does get big, but you could keep it quite awhile before it got too big...I'm sure you can find a taker for it when it's out of space.... Dragon's are very cool.
