Freckled Hawkfish??

[jden092901]

I just picked up a freckled hawkfish and was told that they are reef safe, with caution of shrimp. I had a flame hawk for a while and he never bothered anything, keeping him well feed. Are these about the same, I hope. I never buy like this, but he was so cute and I thought he was just like the flame hawk fish. Just want to be sure he wont eat my cleaner wrasses and cleaner shrimp.

Thanks

Josh

Everywhere I have read it tells me they may eat shrimp, just like my flame hawk, but he never did. I'm getting ready to set up my 120 gallon, so I just dont want him to mess with tangs or my smaller fish.

Hence the word may. It might not be eating shrimp now but don't be surprised when it's appetite change. Just like angels some don't bother corals for years then bam they get hungry and nip at corals
