I found that mine only do well with tangs. The clown and of course the damsel's were relentless. I think my neon was only safe while cleaning / riding the sailfin tang.

I'll have to get a few and put them in my 90gal. Maybe a school of neon and panda's would be very cool. | |

They arent that small, maybe 1.5in. At the moment nothing is messing with them, I will keep my fingers crossed. | |
