Against my own advice, I purchased a Arc Eye Hawkfish without doing much research. Basically, I checked to make sure my tank was large enough for him when he grew bigger. The LFS guy said he’d be fine in my tank... yes, I know....I am now as much an idiot as the LFS guy. Long story short, I had a little insomnia last night and started reading. Seams as though these guys love shrimp and crabs. But their favorite snack is anemones and this guy is going into anemone/Clown dominant tank!

So.... have any of you guys successfully kept a hawkfish with anemones or should I just return it?
Arc Eye is pretty aggressive. Will eat all inverts. I believe he will leave anemone alone.
