Between a YWG or Pygmy Geometric Hawkfish as my next tank inhabitant. On the fence about a pistol shrimp (would only do Randall’s/Candy cane, not Tiger) for the goby but leaning towards no shrimp. Sand bed is about 1-1.5” deep. Which would you choose? Really looking for a bottom dwelling fish.

45 gallon long display tank.
2x Oscellaris clowns
1x Bangai Cardinal
1x Royal Gramma
1x Springeri Damsel
Cuc - cleaner shrimp, snails, conch, hermits, red mithrax crab.
 
I absolutely love my geometric pygmy hawk. He perches all over the tank though, not a true bottom dweller compared to a YWG

Thank you, really looking for a bottom/sand dweller so this helps a ton.
