How r they with inverts?

Mine are great with them. I feed everyday tho and try to keep them full. I feel if they get hungry they may try for your inverts. If you feed every day then they will be fine additions

no, you can feed eels with a skewer or feeding prong. I hand feed mine, but just for fun

But u have to give it special attention when it comes to feeding him?

I was looking at the axilspot hawkfish but was wondering if anyone has had one and liked them?

Hawkfish would be great.

Big hogfish like that isn't. Will be a threat to your inverts and even fish...an 8 inch problem, imo.

They say it has a peaceful temprement

Liveaquaria is pretty good at listing correct tank sizes. This forum is also a great place for info. The people here are very kind and knowledgeable.

Thanks I do appreciate all the input and want to make a good decision

Benefit is just the beauty of it man. A single hawkfish is awsome, but you get a bonded pair in there and its spectacular. Watching them adds a new dynamic to the fish population. Imo it would go great with your current setup. And they are small enough to claim plenty of room to be satisfied and happy.

It's a bit of a risk with corals, but you could try a dwarf angel. They would do well in that tank long term. Many folks (myself included) have had success with the coral beauty. Just make sure that you have some algae growing in your tank before you add one and give them seaweed and you will increase your chances of success with them.

Yes as nereef said I do have a flame angel he doesn’t eat the red Albee in my tank though and I have a lot of it!! Mainly on one rock though

[mattzang]

are u doing corals in this tank? if so, i'm pretty sure your raccoon butterfly will be happy to get rid of them for you. i think he might even get rid of your anemone eventually

I have a coral beauty in my reef and it is a model citizen 4yrs!

Whoops, missed that. Yeah, definitely no more Centroypyge for you.

I missed that too. What about a Valentini puffer??? Not reef safe. Doesn’t bother coral but may eat a snail sometimes. I also have this one in my reef. Nice personable fish and cute. Mine doesn’t bother anything even the shrimp. If a snail turns over it will eat it but does not go after them other wise. Always out and swimming. Anyone else have one in the reef?
