My 40 breeder is currently cycling and I'd like to plan out my stock list in advance. So far, it looks like this:
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
2x Banggai Cardinalfish
Exquisite Firefish
Longnose Hawkfish (or Flame Hawkfish depending on input)
Midas Blenny
Hermits and snails for CUC, no shrimp, as from what I've researched, they'd be eaten by the hawkfish

I'll be using a Reef Octopus Essence S-130 and a generous fuge so I'm not worried about waste.

I'd love any and all input
 
Looks good! I think the longnose hawk would be a slightly better fit, but if you really want the flame it would likely be alright too.
 
It will be action-packed, for sure. But I don't see any compatibility issues, and all of them will be fine in a 40 breeder.

In case you weren't aware, there are a handful of jumpers on your list, so a cover will be imperative.

That's very good to hear. I'd actually prefer the longnose, I was just worried about it's large jaws eating smaller things.

No worries there, unless you want to add guppies to your stock list.
